There is no such thing as TANF EBT cards and Food Stamp EBT cards.
There are EBT cards. Period. They are used like food stamps.
Additional funds are added to the EBT card each month, for, like you mentioned -rent, utilities, etc. Those funds (TANF) can be withdrawn from ATMs, including ATM's that are in liquor stores, strip clubs, etc. from the EBT card.
And they can do whatever they want with it.
Which makes your argument:
>>>Actually, that's a good thing for being far more easily able to control where the funds can be spent across the system. You can't purchase non-food items, alcohol, meds, etc. with your food stamp card, it just won't accept certain items with the swipes. It decreases abuse, not increases it. Makes abuse more difficult.<<<
Nothing but a fallacious assumption.
