From Eric Dondero:

It's just like a credit card. No shame at all.

From the Daily Caller:

The Agriculture Department announced Wednesday it will encourage grocery stores and other retail outlets that accept food stamps to post signs reading “We Welcome SNAP Benefits.” The move is part of an effort to decrease the stigma of using government food assistance in a tough economy.

Attempts to reduce such stigmas have been ongoing for years. SNAP is an acronym for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a recent name change designed to get away from the loaded phrase “food stamps.” Electronic Benefits Transfer, or EBT, is an electronic way of paying for items so it just appears that a customer is using a credit card.

“Underscoring that SNAP benefits are welcome, rather than merely accepted, signals an important change in the way both retailers and program participants view these benefits,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Of course, tax-payers not wanting to subsidize the tax-takers, have the ability and the full right to avoid shopping at establishments that accept SNAP. See a "Welcome Food Stamp Recipients" sign in the window of such an establishment. Protest to the Manager first, and then take your business elsewhere. After all, it'd be a Snap!
