I didn't argue for elimination. I would argue for stricter rules to get on SNAP and once on the program stricter rules for both use and monitoring of users.It argues for adjustment not elimination.
For example, given AI and where computers are, I'd argue that SNAP programs only allow those on them to purchase certain foodstuffs to not include luxury items, pre-processed foods, or ones that are 'ready to eat' for the most part. That is, they have to buy basic ingredients and prepare meals. To that end, I'd also require them to attend training classes in basic food preparation. These could start online with an in-person final exam where they have to demonstrate they have actually learned to cook the stuff they were supposed to be learning to cook. If they can't, off the program for x months before they can reapply and try again.
