I sometimes see a person in front of me using those ebt cards. If they are edlerly, clearly disabled, and use a lot of coupons, buy a lot of rice, beans, and store brands, then it doesn’t bother me.
However I was once behind a young couple very well dressed, tho in casual clothes. They were Black and bought over $200 of nothing but meat. I noticed as I followed them out that the drove away in a late model Alpha Romeo. I took down their tag number.
A lady in our office who had once worked at welfare, said they would investigate if I turned them in but what they would find is the couple are not married, the sports car is registered to someone else etc. Just as well not bother.
The 2008 Farm Act removed all asset test restrictions from SNAP eligibility. There is no point in reporting them based on the car. They might also have $500,000 in the bank, as long as they aren't earning much interest on it. Many Republicans voted for the Farm Act, not just dems.
... I occasionally shop for some of my groceries at Wal-Mart. I never cease to be amazed at overweight people there with overweight children buying unhealthy, fatty, junk foods.
There are no late model Alfa Romeos in the US. Alfa stopped US importation in 1995. They will return in 2012 with their 2013 models, but there have been no new US Alfas in the interim.
I was behind a young lady who had five kids. Each looked a year older than the next. She was using an EBT card and spoke little English.
A real BABY BOMBER.
When the $ runs out, what will they do?
