I am so glad Obama increased the welfare roles so....

[PoliticalChic]

Food stamps is corporate welfare .

Who ends up with that money ? Supermarkets and farm/food Industry.

Soooo.....we should cut it out, right?

 

[francoHFW]

You have no idea whose cars they have or whose money they paid with. Mind your own gd business.

When they are supported by tax payers it is our business. If they don't like it, get a job.

You'd make a great lynch mob ignoramus, chasing people withf od stamps around, jumping to ridiculous concusions, hater dupe. You don't know the first thing about them. People with food stamps have friends and helpers...people with cars and money. Try voting for a party that doesn't cause corrupt world depressions, whose only power is in their bs propaganda and the racism and hate of ignorant brainwashed assholes and the money of greedy idiot billionaires...Your whole party is a disgrace and horror, dupe.

I thought it was illegal to use food stamps to purchase tobacco products, alcohol, certain prepared foods and other products. I haven't researched the matter so if anyone can enlighten me I would appreciate it.

Food stamp recipients are far smarter than politicians....unless the Democrats knew full well that said stamps would be used in every venue.

There have been numerous reports of EBT card abuse and some states have started cracking down on card holders. Of course, whenever someone talks about welfare reform, one side of the political spectrum claims it’s “racially motivated.”

However, even those claims might be put aside for a moment in Massachusetts after a heroin allegedly posted bail with his EBT card."

2."88 Charged in One of Largest Food Stamp Frauds Ever
The FBI announced Tuesday in Savannah, Georgia that eighty-eight people have been charged in "one of the largest federal food program frauds ever prosecuted." Fifty-four of the defendants were charged with conspiring to open "purported grocery stores" specifically for the purpose of defrauding the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) and Food Stamp program. After the fake stores were "approved as WIC and Food Stamp vendors," many of the fifty-four defendants went through neighborhoods soliciting WIC and Food Stamp participants to exchange government benefits for cash instead of food in clear violation of the law. The remaining thirty-four defendants werebenefit recipients who sold over $1,000 of their own or their minor children's benefits for a fraction of their worth. In all, over $18 million was laundered in this way in at least nine cities in Georgia."

"In this world-turned-upside-down context, let's look at the eligibility rules for Food Stamps, rules that in 46 of the 50 states mean that the U.S. government rewards a household for having an illegal immigrant within it.

As humorist Dave Barry says, I am not making this up.

Such households have a mix of illegals (often parents) and citizens (usually kids); only the citizens are nominally eligible for the benefits of the program, but if groceries purchased by Food Stamps are on the dining room table, the common-sense assumption is that all members of the family will benefit from it.

Yes, all else being equal, a low-income household with one or more illegal aliens in it, is more likely to get Food Stamps than a household with similar income with all members being legally present. In another, related scenario both families are eligible, both have equal incomes, but the one with an illegal alien member seems to get a larger allotment.

Drives me nuts...just got back from store.
I am behind this couple, and I see they pay for their food with a food stamp card...but wait...a case of beer and four packs of smokes....no generic for these guys...Marlboro reds and Kools. I would wager the beer and cigarettes cost more than the food they bought.
So awesome. Isn't it wonderful we all pay takes so low lifes can afford their beer and cigarettes? Not to mention meth.

And their girth.

It is. That was the point of the OP. They used their SNAP card to buy food, then paid cash for the beer and cigarettes. Thus, instead of them using their OWN money to buy food...they use SNAP which frees up their earnings to buy vices.

Absoute BS. Mind your own gd business and change from the hate channel or whatever ition of the giant GOP bs propaganda/hate machine.

There has never....never....been starvation in our nation.

From 1929 to 1933, in the darkest years of the great depression when people were eating far less, life expectancy increased by 6 years.



....seeing as the US diet was far higher than starvation standards before the Roosevelt Depression, even a serious reduction would have been unlikely to induce starvation level conditions in the majority of the population. And with enough food available overall, and the US always having had a very active local charity network, it's quite likely there would have been help for at least the majority of those who could not afford to feed themselves. In fact for quite a few people a somewhat leaner diet may well have contributed to the increased life expectancy. –
