The report says it all. It’s amazing how many EBTers I see driving brand new vehicles, in designer clothes who seem to shop a lot (used to see them often at an outlet mall when I used to earn a decent living before The One appeared)
My little county of 30K has 20% people on Food Stamps, SIX THOUSAND OF THEM!
If you go into WalMart after 11AM (it upsets them to get up before then), you see them everywhere - in PJs, flip-flops, shorts, sweatshirts and some in designer clothes.
They always choose check out register #11 because that’s the one with a dedicated cashier, and where the cigarettes are. They present their WICs certificates, buy their hamburger and steaks I can’t afford now, and Ding-dongs and chips, snacks - whatever strikes their fancy.
Two piles....one for EBT, and the other for cash (if they just have to pay cash), and then its the cigarettes, beer and wine they always have cash for.
Outside, their cars and truck are better than mine. Effing leeches.
Well, they don’t have a LOT of money and shop in lower-cost, lower tax states. I salute them for their frugality!
