A lot of commenters are focused on the reselling of food stamps...
They're not physical stamps anymore and haven't been for at least a decade. It's a debit card that gets money deposited monthly. You can't sell the money without selling the card and your future access to the money going to the card.
In other words, the fraud you're all worried about has already been addressed.

You can easily sell the money without selling the card. You just need to ask what people want, and buy it for them.
Well, no. A lot of them will sell the food stamps at a discount to people who do want food, but would like to pay a little less for it. The poor person gets money and so does the grocery shopper.
