The reason that the vouchers are explicitly tied to goods (and further - specific brands of goods) has nothing do with what people may (or may not) use them for and everything to do with the fact that it's tied to the farm bill. It's corporate welfare firstly, welfare for the impoverished as an afterthought. If you "super shopped" those entities with the funds and pull to be included (read: those who can afford to lobby the relevant committees) couldn't make the returns they paid for.
It only seems absurd because you misunderstood the primary focus of the programs. It's understandable that you misunderstood - because they spend alot of pr effort -not- explaining this.
A universal basic income would not accomplish what these programs accomplish, so gl, I really mean it, gl.
