  So… still yes?

  If someone has a history of poor money management like this though, why should they still be granted food stamps and support from the government? There's people out there who seriously need that kind of assistance. More than someone who doesn't have the common sense to save at least a couple dollars for ramen, but instead buy out the lego store. >
  
  They alternative is they and their innocent family go hungry, why would you prefer his innocent children go hungry because he's got a problem? >
  
  Isn’t he, and his family, already going hungry because he keeps buying legos? >
  
  You can't buy Legos with food stamps >
  
  Can you trade food stamps for cash? >
  
  Well it's more of a debit card with your name on it. You'd be pretty SOL if you did, but I'm sure some people do. Or sell their groceries or something. If you really wanted to, it's used to buy things with value, so it has value.
  But not really. Not directly. >
  
  So… yes? >
  
  In the sense that any two people who agree that the other has something of value to them and that they want to trade for it can make a trade happen. That's just humans assigning value to things.
