literally saying that the problem is that WIC isn't cash-like the way SNAP is; I agree

Yeah, college tuition is an okay example. But two things:

1) College assistance is really paid to the institution, not to the recipient; it's more like medicaid than SNAP. I like Medicaid, too, but I think it's much worse in terms of controlling for costs for this reason.
2) the costs didn't increase 1:1 with increased aid, so there was still a net benefit
