Trump wants to replace SNAP (food stamps) with boxes of nutritious food.

Seems you can't refute what I said.

The free food items would be set up at distribution points. All people would just have to go and pick it up.
Ya want free food? Ya just have to go and pick it up.
If recipients are able to get up out of the house to go to grocery stores, then they can just as easily go to the distribution centers.

I live right down the street from a local "food bank" who give out food boxes to qualifying people or families, once a month.
Their parking spaces and the parking spaces on the surrounding streets are always full.
I occasionally talk to the lady who runs the organization (they also have a nice little thrift store and take donations of all kind of items) and she's told me that at least 3 days out of the week (Monday through Friday) they have so many people show up, that they run out of food items and have to tell the people to come back tomorrow.

Now the question was raised, in this thread, of how are people supposed to get to the distribution points.
Using the food bank as an example, there are numerous ways:
1 - They drive themselves
2 - They carpool
3 - They give documentation for someone else (usually a close friend or family member) to pick up the food boxes for them.
4 - Some live close enough to walk

Therefore I would suggest that instead of proclaiming that it won't work, that maybe ideas should be formulated that would help it work.

They used to do this years ago. My parents station wagon served as a taxi to haul people (about four families from our congregation at the time) to the distribution point when I was about 6 or 7 until we moved from Lawton.

Why wasn't the distribution point your church instead of some government entity?

There is less chance of food stamps being replaced by boxes of food than all of the other claims/attempts to cut spending or eliminate useless programs. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all tried to eliminate unnecessary programs but they all have champions in Congress trying save them.

There was a subsidy for angora goats because mohair was used for military uniforms in WWII. The program was ended in 2001 but came back the next year.

Boxed foods instead of food stamps will benefit at least one corporation. I don't see how this is fundamentally different than the meal boxes for the hungry we can buy/donate at our local grocery in the fall.

One other reform that might be off topic, but there needs to be a strong deterrent to people receiving benefits having more children. If you can't afford to pay for the kids you have, you sure as hell shouldn't be having more.

Some states have family caps which stop the benefits after a certain number of kids. We need more of that since millions of black women have chosen birthing kids as their "career". And they don't even take care of the kids. They spend the welfare on themselves.

Really? What an interesting thing to assert.

How many millions of black women have chosen that?

Please be very, very specific and cite the demographic figures.
 
Hillary really doesn't have any political, or any meaning anymore, that's for sure. Thankfully...
