That's absolutely not the case. Government assistance money does have a specific purpose. You can't (and shouldn't) buy cigarettes with food stamps, even if you put them in your mouth and it makes you happy. Nor can you buy alcohol, even though you actually drink it. Do you advocate being able to buy those things, just because someone might want them? If you don't, then you're being hypocritical. If you do, I don't know what to tell you.

I made a point of saying food money. Cigarettes are not food. I'm not sure how I feel about alcohol, honestly. But I would say it is different because it is a regulated substance. Soda isn't. Junk food isn't. Honestly, I wouldn't care if someone used their food/drink money to buy alcohol to drink. But I certainly don't think I get a say in what someone uses their food money to buy with to eat.

Food stamps are food stamps. They aren't called "health food stamps." They are for people to eat because we recognize that, for many, many reasons, there are people in this country who cannot afford to feed themselves or their families and that food is a basic human right and the government should help them. Once the government gives them the food stamps, they are theirs to do with as they see fit for whatever food they want. And if they are allowed to buy drinks with it, they should be allowed to buy any drinks they want, including soda.
