WIC Funding

Golly Gee, WIC is now going to have to stop doling out organic foods to its recipients. What a shame.

Here is the quote from Montana's WIC director, Joan Bowsher:

Well, a lot of clients want to buy the best possible food that they can and we support that but at this point we would rather provide a full food package for all of the clients than have to make some other kind of cuts.

Excuse me, but when you're getting something for free, when did it become acceptable to "tell" the giver what you want?

It's no wonder many of these people aren't anxious to get off government assistance.

The director also says that WIC is reducing the amount of milk clients can receive and tailoring food packages to each individual's needs to reduce waste. (emphasis added)

The problems with this program have less to do with inflation and more to do with gross mismanagement.
