In this economy, I realize many people are struggling, but we need to step back and take a serious look at this situation. EBT is not just food stamps or SNAP, but there should be some sort of accountability as to where these cards can be used or not used. Eligibility usually is established by dependant children in the home. Dependent children have no need for alcohol, tobacco, casino tokens, or sexy lingerie!
Food and shelter are necessities. Clothing is a necessity, including underwear and sleepwear; but a line has clearly been crossed. When a family cannot use food stamps to purchase soap, tooth paste, or toilet tissue, because they are not "necessities;" I cannot understand how any government subsidy can be used to shop for unnecessary unmentionables!
