I pretty much gave up on this article when it mentioned "food-stamp Pepsi." There is no such thing as "food-stamp Pepsi" in Kentucky. Food stamps can't be spent on snack foods such as Pepsi.

In Kentucky, you cannot buy soda and candy with food stamps.

Also, the Nicholas Kristof story he cites was discredited. You can't get SSI just for being illiterate. That was a meme put out as an excuse for attacking people on SSI.

The Louisville mayor doesn't have to, because it's already limited.

Source? I did some googling and everything I found was either silent or contradicted you.

I've seen a sign at Kroger that lists the items you can't buy with food stamps. That's not Kroger policy, that's the law.

Or maybe it's just a sign intended to intimidate people from using SNAP $ on those things. What does the cash register do; reject their card?

I've never tried it. It also says food stamps can't be used on hot foods that the store sells, even if they're actually real meal items and not junk food.

I thought WIC was abolished in 1996.

Restarting the war on poverty, which we haven't been fighting in 30 years.

One way to improve the situation in Appalachia would be reinvigorated labor unions.

What work would these labor unions be doing?

Organizing workers.

Tourism produces some of the worst jobs around. That's why I like going on vacation in places that aren't otherwise based on tourism.

It's a shame that Republicans will probably win the KY house assembly and will destroy unions with RTW.

The way things are going, the Republicans are out of luck.
