In New York State they passed a law that benefits cards could no longer be used in casinos, liquor stores or strip clubs. Yeah, let that sink in for a few seconds.

Some?

In the early ‘70’s I was a clerk in a grocery store near the projects. The people who paid with cash (no credit cards then) usually bought the cheapest meat. The people who paid with food stamps bought most of the steaks. I now know they were selling the steaks at cents on the dollar so they could buy liquor and drugs. That game still goes on today. I had a renter move out in August and leave the refrigerator stacked with steaks. The power was off. What did she take? The beer.

Every Black on EBT knows how to scam the system and they pass the knowledge on!

EBT: another liberal social program in which good intentions somehow equates to good results.

Ok this is making me so dam pissed. I have been unemployed for now 2 years sending out resumes without getting any calls and I did file for Food Stamp but only to be refused so I reapply again a year later only to be accepted. I am getting only $58 per month which is ok because I do not have children. However, with the prices going up on Veggies and Meat doesn’t leave me that much. So by the middle of the month it is all gone. Also, I can’t go over a certain limit or else they will stop or cut my benefit. Tomorrow I’m planning to pawn my grandmother’s ring to get some milk, and perhaps some meat, because right now my refrigerator is totally empty.

To see their cart filled up how much are they getting? There are people who are truly in need of it and yet these bastards are getting away with it. God I hate Democrats! Also what I notice that being single I feel you are penalized when applying for assistance. Looks like I have to have screaming kids with me to get better assistance.

One way or another I will pick myself up by cleaning houses or whatever it takes to keep myself afloat while these Jackarses enjoy their weed and stuff.

The scam starts with the stores that are subsidized by the government in the form of EBT cards.

Surprise: Some Folks Are Abusing Their EBT Cards

[ExCTCitizen]

I was riding my bike with the kids and unfortunately we rode through the Ombamaville area, at a restaurant there was a sign that said, 'We accept EBT', but then at an urban clothing store and at a Ross Clothing store, both had 'We accept EBT'.

I didn't know shoes were food...

Obama signs emergency bill to halt teacher layoffs
yahoo ^
Posted on Tue Aug 10 17:38:51 2010
"The aid for the states is to be paid for mostly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations and by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor...The legislation provides $10 billion to school districts to rehire laid-off teachers or to ensure that more teachers won't be let go before the new school year begins."

Mutually Assured Destruction [Tues. debacle confirms growing rift between Dems & teachers unions.]
American Spectator ^ | 11/5/10 | RiShawn Biddle
"Congressional Democrats angered centrist school reformers, MoveOn.org-style progressives, and other party activists in August when they voted to ladle $10 billion in federal subsidies (funded from future cuts to the Food Stamp program) to school districts in order to stave off layoffs of 160,000 teachers (or just 2.6 percent of the nation's 6.2 million school employees). In turn, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers poured more than $40 million of their hefty campaign war chests (including more than $15 million by the NEA in the last weeks of the election season alone) to help the Democrats keep full control of Congress."
