WBAL’s Ron Smith and I had a rowdy time today paying our respects to the food stamp program. Ron has been doing talk radio for almost 30 years, so he appreciates policy absurdities far better than most hosts.

I think the guys who falsified 1500 food stamps cases and skimmed $8 mill should obviously be sentenced to community service, working with AmeriCorps to sign up people for food stamps!
Well, it’s always nice when this kind of story has a happy ending…
