Dedicated scrutiny of more than just food stamp records is needed to find fraud. Laws already exist that exclude those who sold their benefits from getting more benefits for either a certain time period or forever. And lying about income to get benefits is a crime. What’s wanting is not the laws but the enforcement of same.
The usual “slam the newbie” spew.
(1) In the original, this quotation is talking about church polity. My quotation is a proverb which IS general.
(2) Generally stamp beneficiaries are involuntarily unemployed or badly underemployed. Others would have to lie about their income which is already deemed a crime.
got proof? I sincerely doubt it.
Cutting out the multi generation upon generations cycle of foodstamps would eliminate gazillion$. Limiting them to 1 year per US citizen would solve even more of the problem.
Make those idiot postal workers who are on a hunger strike deliver the foodstuffs.
I once worked in the same office as the food stamp office. The secretary had been there for year and years. One day she picked up her purse and walked out. She never came back and I don’t blame her. She’d had it handing over more in benefit checks than what she was making in her paycheck.
Store Owner in Welfare Waste Investigation Sentenced
grocery store owner profiled in the on-going 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Welfare Waste investigation and accused by prosecutors of more than $3 million dollars in food stamp fraud is going to prison.
Khaffak Ansari wouldn’t comment in November 2010 when KSTP first asked him about the allegations, and asked a reporter and photographer to leave his store.
He was indicted six months later and pleaded guilty last Fall.

this is more common than any politicans in MN care to know
Sounds like a devout Baraqqi.....
Costco/Walmart/Aldi/etc knows where their bread is buttered.
they’d never not accept EBT or knowling help anyone who might shine a light on food stamp fraud.
this is what you get with business in bed with FedGuv Inc.
Thank you. I’m in NYC, have a friend in dire circumstances whose husband went crazy, it seems, and abandoned her, left her destitute. She lost everything. I’ve been helping her, and that’s how I know how rough it is.
And what about the people with no homes, or who don’t have access yo kitchen facilities?
That’s how it worked back in the 30’s. Except nothing got delivered, you walked (if you had to) ever how many miles it was to the local town to get your sack of “relief”. Can goods, dried meat, potatoes, flour, corn meal and the like. No money, just food to prevent starvation.
Now, it’s possible to live a pretty darn good life suckling at the taxpayer teat. Plus, you have sooo much time to be about birthing those welfare babies. A husband or father isn’t necessary, just this or that man for a night or two and nine months later your various ‘allowances’ get raised.
It’s like that video song says “All you gotta do is f***, nine months later you get the bucks.”
No problem, it is confusing, and I’m sure there’s exception, exemptions, and on and on. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, that’s really a shame. I wish all the best to you and yours, and her and hers. Take care.
I know the also want to bankrupt the system, so that is the main reason they do this, but it is counter productive to their primary directive of reducing population and man's burden on Mother Gaia.
