> The whole point of EBT is to keep people fed. If they are eating junk food and not maximizing their nutritional value to your satisfaction that’s fine because they’re still eating.

They could eat for much less than that. Again, why should the taxpayer be subsidizing luxury spending? Junk food is a luxury.

> If you’re really worried about your tax expenditures look at defense contracting and spending. EBT fraud is a rounding error for some of those program overruns. Also at tax policy when it comes to revenue offshoring, inheritance and millionaires to billionaire tax evasion.

Whataboutism. Two things can be true at once.
