You may have seen the headlines just last week about a father and son who own two convenience stores in S.Florida. They were charged with buying food stamps from legal and illegal customers at 10 cents on the dollar to the tune of millions of dollars. I could google the story if no-one believes me. rdean pilots a boat on Denial, a river in Egypt.I don't know much about illegals and food stamps but I do know about legals who abuse the food stamp system. When I worked as a part-time grocery bagger, nothing burned my tail more than following a food stamp customer out to the parking lot and loading the groceries into the trunk of a $75,000 Mercedes. Now I understand why people key a car. Just sayin'.
For all you know, that was someone borrowing their bosses car.
Besides, I heard those stupid stories too many times. Repeated over and over again and never true.
Notice my screen name? Crackerman? Yes I own a distributorship for Snyder Lance and work each and everyday in grocery stores and see first hand the abuse of food stamps. Watching people pay with EBT cards to buy groceries then have 200 worth of beer and wine they pay cash for. So here I am a taxpayer paying for your food yet you have extra money to buy booze???? So you are the one who is stupid to believe there is no abuse in any govt program. You must be a liberal.....
