Babs, you're not in the minority ... and it's not just that you've chosen to take this position in a predominantly liberal forum (I skew conservative on a few things ... but less and less as I get older.) It's plainly that you are just holding an indefensible position.
Once someone qualifies for a welfare check in an amount determined to be a reasonable sum to survive on for all people who meet the same qualification standards, attempting to monitor and judge what they spend the money on is futile, arbitrary and unfair.
Let it go.
And by the way, there are plenty of real, life-threatening injustices in the world to get angry over. Do a better job of picking what things you choose to be outraged about.
