yeah I was stunned the time my sis told me she voted for whoever promised her programs that would benefit her.........that had never even crossed my beady little mind
Not to mention double- and triple-dipping.
The unmarrieds use each others’ names to collect, sometimes in more than one household (different kids with different parents, girlfriend’s apartments, etc.)
Many have different fake ID’s, and thus have various aliases under which they can collect.
Who dares walk into the barrio or ghetto and demand an audit?
NOBODY. It would be political, as well as literal, suicide.
Babcock, crop insurance, iowa, ewg
The article outlines the cost of crop insurance and the application of public food policy.
Another interesting aspect of the flow of funds through the USDA is the SNAP and WIC programs. Try another Google search on

Fun reading
I meet people like that all the time. What they don’t realize is that for everything thing they could on others to “give” them the less free they are. When you become dependent on the government to provide basic needs like food, healthcare and transportation, few of the recipients realize they are edging towrd slavery.
Once you are dependent on government program it is almost impossible to get off. If you get a better job with more money you could lose the benefit. The only way to keep it is stay trapped. Personally I would rather struggle and do without than become dependent on the government.
I refuse to use Google search, for anything but telephone numbers.
I have learned years ago never to vote for any candidates that make the most promises, because as soon as they get elected they forget their promises
I have learned to despise politicians because they are liars
Welfare State:
The sacrificing of the future, for the temporary comfort of the present, while the politicians selling off that future, gain temporary power over the people through the purchase of the people’s votes with government programs.
You don't even need them for that. There are plenty of search engines out there.
Have the recipients come in for a one time finger print or retina scan in order to collect...
You can be fined $20,000 for feeding dolphins in the wild. Do you think this law would be on the books if dolphins could vote?
Detouring through a slum recently, I saw a big tent set up in front of a (closed, bombed-out) strip mall. A sign on it said that “free” government cell phones could be obtained inside. Perhaps we could expand on that operation, offering one-stop phones, food, and health care free to all comers under the same big tent. (Oh, and voter registration would also be available.)
They’re having enough trouble with ID required to vote - while it would certainly be a good start, the race-baiters would be wailing to high heaven.
The various bipartisan commie factions of the political/regulator/public education/emergency/rescue/pension class will then fight over who gets the money from cuts to food stamps. All of the socialists want more to stock-up on vehicles, weapons, alternative energy power plants, hardened communications buildings/equipment, etc., to perpetrate their SHTF/TEOTWAWKI riots, the various factions against others.
Should be quite a show before long in contemporary politics.

Receiving multiple EBT card by one individual isn't on the radar screen as far I can tell. Most of the reports of fraud center around selling the card for cash or claiming the card got lost. Showing an ID isn't required for using the card.
Exactly. But it should be. It's been going on for decades.
ALBANY — New York City would have to stop requiring the electronic fingerprinting of food stamp applicants under regulations proposed on Thursday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has sided with advocates for the hungry who say it discourages people from seeking benefits.
Good detective work...
