Re: Millions Eligible for Food Stamps Aren't Applying

Regulation of business is bad and inefficient , but regulation of the poor
is good and prevents fraud. Hmm... Strange that a country so attached to the
idea that bureaucracy and regulation stifles freedom and is inefficient
nevertheless lauds regulation and demands an army of enforcers to prevent
anyone getting a penny illegitimately from welfare.
