    Means-testing any program is more expensive than not means-testing it. Change my mind.

      Sure, but if we don’t means test these things, how can we hurt the “right” (poor/minorities) people? /s

        What’s with the “/s”? That’s literally the real reason.

          Because I’m being sarcastic. I’m not actually advocating for shitting on poor people, I’m not Republican.

      And we already have a mechanism to claw back benefits from those that truly shouldn’t have them: taxes. Taylor Swift wants food stamps? Cool. Hook her up and then tax that back at the end of the year. It’s fairly simple.
