Food stamps are issued in an exclusive currency as a measure to prevent abuse. It prevents them from being spent on jewelry, video games, and drugs. That will be "gone by default" if you issue benefits in the form of cash instead?? Wut?? How is this merely a semantic point?

If you get the money no-strings-attatched, it's not fraud waste or abuse to do with it whatever you want. I told you I was making an intellectually dishonest statement for the lolz and you're still getting worked up over it. Check your blood pressure, man.

That word means something different than "Re-branded"
