Social Security money isn't a government handout. It was money forcibly taken from the wage earner and the employer. The government shouldn't have any say in how the recipient spends it. Veteran's benefits are in essence a pension for service. SNAP is a government handout. I am sorry you have the circumstance to need it, but since it is taken directly from taxpayers, including SS recipients, there should rightly be dictates on what that money can be spent on. I would recommend you let go of the soda fix - there is nothing in sodas that are good for you :) I do wish you well, patriot.
