Amazingly the guy's a Dem.

Rep. Russell E. Holmes must be a racist / S
All kidding aside.... It’s nice to see a “D” actually understands the problem with abuse in the EBT system and how it affects the people enslaved by it....
He is (GASP!) asking for IDs?
Buy a membership at COSTCO and they ask you to sit for less than a minute and voila! you have a card with your pic on it. Same can be done with EBTs, but watch the "disenfranchisement" Hue and Cry erupt when that is proposed.
He sees the end of their gravy train that is busting the wheels on the taxpayer rails. He knows their free ride is almost over and he is trying to prolong it.
Hey now, this crap is starting to get out of hand. The next thing you know, they'll require ID cards to vote!
The truly lavish balances bestowed upon many is a problem as well.
I'm acquainted with a woman, with four minor children at home, whose monthly balance is $1,500.00.
No Mooshellian food desert there. You want to know the source of such startling obesity statistics among the poor, start looking at EBT before launching into some weirdly yuppified statist program forcing arugula and pilates upon an unwilling lumpen proletariat.
They're fat because they're awash in food, with apparently no oversight. They're fraudulently selling excess EBT balances because they can't eat it all. That is the distinct impression I've gotten.
Yes, it is nice to see some semblance of awakening. But how long will it last, and what is to become of it? And why are the Rats so thick-headed as to refuse to see the obvious? Yes, most are in it for themselves, but there are those few who really are naive, bordering on stupid.
Holmes was at the Roxbury Stop & Shop by Grove Hall last Sunday when someone approached him asking if he wanted to buy the man’s EBT card.
Sell the card on Sat, report it lost or stolen get a replacement.
“Holmes is taking a strong stand against EBT card abuse, calling for efforts to add photos to the cards and tighter restrictions on where the cards can be used.”
Wonder what he thinks of voter ID laws?
They’ve reformed EBT cards here in NC.
Changed the name to ‘SNAP’ card.
Flooding the air waves with ads to ‘Come get your SNAP card’.
The only reform that would make a dent is a multi-pronged approach ;
1) Special stores that accept only EBT and cash. Have the grocery chains in each area bid to run these on a store by store basis. They’d only be allowed to stock produce, meat, dairy, generic/low-priced canned goods and staples. No premium meats, seafood, or other food items. No wine, beer, liquor or cigarettes.
2) Photo ID required with EBT card.
3) Clawback unused EBT funds each month. Use it or lose it.
