States shouldn't implement qualifiers to qualify for federal SNAP benefits and pay more of the administrative costs that the federal government use to cover.
Rather they should end social and corporate benefit programs entirely.
New Hampshire actually does this to one degree or another. Rather than subsidizing industries to attract them the benefit of setting up in New Hampshire is lower taxes.
If you stop the subsidizing bull shit people will learn to navigate their finances better and setup their own safety nets. Back in the day people saved for a rainy day, they bagged lunch, they maintained a checkbook, etc.
New Hampshire may have a long ways to go here, but the state has done a better job than most at NOT incentivizing companies to setup shop, but rather focused on maintaining lower taxes. When your economic situation declines in Mass you get your liquor in New Hampshire for a fraction of the price. You spent your dollars at New Hampshire grocery stores because there is no sales tax, etc.
