Well…have been thinking about this more this aft and have come up with an even simpler solution…every company in the US that pays wages so low that their employees have to have government assistance of any kind should be required to pay the assistance back as a sort of tax to take away the incentive to cheat their employees out of a living wage while enriching the owners. This would be classic economics at work and since the repubs are so hot about eliminating government assistance for anyone, how could they disagree? It’s all a a matter of eliminating the distortions in markets that are cause by a big company like Walmart and it’s political power…Walmart is essentially stealing from you and me and so the Waltons can get richer and richer…it would at least claw back the 3.5 billion dollars in silent subsidies that come from their employees being eligible for Medicaid and food stamps and stop the greedy Waltons from pushing these costs onto you and me…geez…
