No way! Those living off the expense of others should be limited. Public assistance should only be a temporary thing, with strict limits.

I wish I could qualify for food stamps then. I am on a budget and I can't eat out. Eating out is more expensive. I realize homeless can't fix meals but there needs to be another way. People already sell their food stamps for booze and drugs.
