MOOCHER WATCH!

From Eric Dondero:

Four years ago, the Labour Party introduced an expansion of the Mother's Milk program to include fruits and vegetables. Over 600,000 women currently receive the taxpayer-subsidized government hand-out.

From the UK Telegraph "New mothers swap fruit vouchers for booze and cigarettes":

Now a Government survey of more than 2,000 retailers, health professionals and recipients has found that more than one in five knew of occasions when shops had swapped the tokens for products outside the scheme... trading vouchers for alcohol and cigarettes.

Limited government advocates in the UK are steaming. Continuing:

Emma Boon, campaign director of The TaxPayers’ Alliance, urged the Coalition to abolish the scheme.

She said: “All these endless handouts from the nanny state do nothing but encourage shameless behaviour from those in society who would rather spend money on cigarettes and alcohol than on their own children.”

“It’s naive of the Government to give out these vouchers and expect the scheme to have an impact on how much healthy food mums or mums-to-be are buying. This misguided programme is wasting taxpayers’ money and should be scrapped.”
