<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladies First, post: 1253146, member: 21961&quot;]Except for the cost of making and distributing the stamps, doesn&#039;t the cost to taxpayers mostly come from retailers redeeming the foodstamps they had accepted in exchange for the goods they relinquished? I would think that a foodstamp that wasn&#039;t spent on food would be of minimal cost to taxpayers. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I was in college, I was talked into getting food stamps from my staunch Republican friend whose point was, &quot;See how easy it is? If<i> I </i>can get them then it&#039;s a waste of taxpayers&#039; money.&quot; I tried to hold onto mine when they were still in the booklet but slowly I broke down... My friend may have identified a problem, but I&#039;m not sure he had the solution![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
