A millionth of cent from your taxes goes to each recipient and that has you acting like little tyrant.
Conservativism is a mental illness, seek therapy.
So he is paying them then.

I'm not acting like a little tyrant. I didn't start the bill, and I am not in the state where it's happening. My state already denies SNAP people buying McDonalds. Most states don't allow it. That state is just catching up to the other states.
So what are you actually concerned about? Are you also upset that all the other states don't allow it? Even the democrat-run ones?
Also, I'm not a conservative. So nice try.
It's like you don't understand that not everybody has the means to make regular trips to a grocery store. Denying accessible food to poor people solely so you can save a single cent over the course of a year is a conservative ideal that you subscribe to. And all it does is hurt poor people. But you don't care.
My state, like most states, already bans SNAP benefits being used to pay for McDonalds food. Many Democrat-let states also don't allow it.
