EBT and Walkfare
-
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
-
Another taxpaying, inflationary program that fails to fulfill its stated
goals is the EBT.
-
If one lives within the world of the EBT beneficiaries, one will find recipients
who frequent convenience stores where they receive fifty cents cash for
non-existent dollar purchases.
-
A monthly dole of $300 is $150 cash.
-
Of course, the children, for whom the EBT was established, receive not only
less food but less nutritional food--sugary and fat food.
-
One solution is integrating Timism Disaster Prep Food distribution into basic
food delivery on a regular basis. Actual food distribution was once the case
before food lobbyists paid habitual politcians to create poverty currency
in the form of plastic EBT cards.
-
Workfare or Walkfare to replace Welfare
-
Workfare is a reoccuring campaign speech of politicians. This is a bad idea
for taxpayers as it requires another public bureaucacy that is staffed by
a campaign workers.
-
Walkfare is a better idea. EBT recipients are required, like postal letter
carriers, to walk route that includes electronic credit card readers in which
the recipient inserts the EBT card. Insertion deposits a small amount on
the EBT card. Besides the low cost, it will increase the health as walking
is one of the healthiest exercises.
