I think you missed something here.

They are saying that they want to close a loophole where people who don't need
SNAP can get SNAP.

I remember a long time ago, seeing a news broadcast where they were outside one
of the gov't food distribution centers.  Someone in a big, nice, new car pulls
up.  Sheh gets out, wearing a fur coat. Goes into the Center, gets her gov't
food, then proceeds to toss it in the trash as she exits.

When asked why she did that, she responded that she was entitled to it but
didn't want it.

Those are the people Rollins is after.

If someone has money, but spends it unwisely, that's not society's problem. 
Let them sell their nice car and fur coat first.  Then they can qualify for
SNAP.

I did and I would be right.  I've seen too many people make bad decisions (i.e.
choosing to go drinking instead of using that money for food) and then wanting
the taxpayers to help them.

Remember that the Lord helps those who help themselves.

If someone who can afford a fancy car is getting SNAP, she is focusing on the
fraud.
