If he’s guilty, the authorities who handed our deits card that make this fraud easy are even more guilty.

Dollar Stores are the new Wal Mart. Big box stores are suffering, while the guys who sell the cheapest stuff are gaining, as the “cheap stuff” is all almost half can even afford.

What a country.

My girlfriend was in the local Safeway store where they have a small Starbucks Kiosk. The people in front were told they could not buy hot coffee with the EBT cards but they were able to buy iced coffees instead!
