Allowing people to make their own choices, is an important

For people who rely on public assistance for everything, there are already many restrictions.  Food stamps, WIC, medicaid, housing assistance, daycare subsidy . . .

Allowing people to make their own choices, and allocate this portion of their resources as they see fit, is appropriate.
