Of course we crazy conservatives ALL know the answer is to just shut the SNAP (and other welfare) programs down
The workforce for an average city to handle legitimate needy cases can be whittled down at least 75% (imo)

These are some of the same folks who will do anything to keep someone like Trump from gutting the frauds with a chainsaw. As the man said, the waste and money blown which was confiscated from the tax payers, is epic and would blow us all away if the true numbers were revealed. They have built entire industries out of defrauding tax payers.
I believe welfare is needed for truly needy and elderly legitimate American citizens. Those who contributed most of the lives who might now need a hand. But the fraud surrounding this program with so many others, is well known and has to stop.

that's also how I understand it. I was been a little pissy.
The article tried to blow up the wow factor by stating "or even illegal drugs"
For a better wow gactor, they should have, but wouldn't ever had said "or even guns".

This is what pisses me off. There are people who need it and yet there are people who are just scamming it. I am still unemployed but I made a decision a few weeks ago not to renew my food stamps. I had it for a year but that is enough. I am just sick of the paper work having to prove my eligibility. Which I see nothing wrong, but it pisses me off because how come others get away from proving and providing any documentation. Every 6 months I had to and I also attach a letter in details how my brother is helping me. I am just sick of it. Also a neighbor told me she try to apply was denied but she was surprise to see people who were given alot of monetary on their EBT card. With me, they are giving me $30 a month. That helps but hell it pisses me, because when I applied for the first time. I was sitting among so many people who spoke Spanish and to see women wearing a Burka Hell! I thought I was living in the Middle East......sigh thank you for allowing me to rant.

If she’s sentenced to a day less than 20 years this is a mockery of justice and she should serve every single day of it.

Where did she defraud the government????they paid out x number of dollars and that’s all. She did defraud the welfare recipients, but that’s their bad luck....she actually caused the government no loss whatsoever.
