With that frame of mind, then I suggest you look into every program that your tax payer money supports and criticize - such as abortion. I think people bitch more about food stamps because it is something they can see in the public. I’m more outraged at the frivolous, stupid, studies the government subsidizes with our tax payer money - and, oh yeah, the millions the zero family spends on its endless vacations and parties.

Grocery stores I visit do not ask how you’re paying until all items have been scanned. Agreed, having to scan the card first would be a great idea.

Conservatives have the intellectual capacity to complain about several issues. This article discusses one of the issues worth our attention.

You clearly have not experienced the SNAP culture of bragging as they “use up the money at the end of the month” on ding dongs and chips as you count pennies to buy a gallon of milk. You clearly haven’t been paying attention to the overwhelming amount of fraud in the SNAP system. You clarly haven’t been paying attention that these cards allow for ATM cash withdrawals, including at strip clubs.

The SNAP culture is no longer a culture of “shame, but necessaray as a short term bandaid.” It is now a culture of fraud and openly bragging about abusing their fellow citizens.

Evendently you missed the little titbit in the National Budget about food stamp dependency DOUBLING over the past 6 years and the fact we are 19 TRILLION dollars in debt.

I have every right to bitch, critique, complain and suggest other options for those that have made multiple Generational Dependency a way of life.
