An anonymous reader writes "According to Wired/AP, food stamp recipients will now receive video games instead of brochures and pamphlets, in an effort to educate them on how to get the most benefit. One wonders why someone that can't afford food would have spent money on a computer on which to play these games."

    And they have no one that they can swap child care time with?

    No, because they're not in the same state as the family with which one would swap child care time. Swapping child care time requires that the families be within walking distance so that family 1 can watch family 2's children and family 2 can watch family 1's children.
