You do realize that repubs like Gohmert are only using this to try and cut benefits. That doesn't change the opportunity for this kind of abuse. One could in theory still buy crab legs (and trade them for beers/cigs) even if one's benefits were cut to $5/month. One could go big government and further limit what people can buy to a small list of approved items (something that I think is done already in many states). But people will still find a way.

Or one could worry about the really big fraud and abuse of government funds taking place in other, much more well-funded departments. Because there is the place where true savings lie.
