Kentucky has kicked people off food benefits using data that doesn't tell the full story

6. It's great when the "little guys" win!

This sentence says everything about what Kentucky was up to (emphasis added by me): "Over the last five years, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has brought hundreds of fraud cases that are heavily reliant on transactional data with the goal of revoking people’s food benefits."

Their GOAL was to revoke benefits. They were deliberately looking for excuses to revoke benefits, to take food out of people's mouths. Sometimes I hate living in a country where anyone who accepts government assistance is automatically regarded as a criminal, even if things are not the same in every state. Ugh.
