WIC is much more lenient, it was an easier sell, pregnant women and children are a great screen to hide behind when handing out cash to your corporate donors.
In the case of farm bill based assistance, the government does exist for the benefit of the people , it's just that you and I (and the people on benefits) aren't "the people" being referred to.
The fair market value of a car over $4650 is counted toward your resources in determining SNAP eligibility.
