I opened it up to find an EBT card with my name on it, instructions on how to activate and use the card, and the amount I could access on it per month — 200 dollars. Nothing followed-up my interview, other than the evidently pointless letter I received during the previous month. No one ever asked for a copy of my birth certificate or Social Security card, nor for my student identification card. I answered all of their questions truthfully, but how were they to know that I was who I said I was? Is it really this simple to obtain welfare benefits here in the United States?

This is all you need to know about the Federal Government, its programs, and who it hires. This vignette also displays how democrat voters are minted.

The fact that the author got what he got with NO IDENTIFICATION was very telling as well. The legal requirement that only US Citizens (or even legal residents) can get this aid is being blatently ignored. Every person who gets this aid is a vote for the Welfare State—something the bureaucrats and politicians understand very well. They have no problem building an army of parasites as long as they pull the right lever (legally or not) on Election day.
