Jobs?
Work?
Send them to Afghanistan to fight and earn those handouts.
What about the breakfast, lunch, snacks, and even in dinner given in some school districts to all students, so that the ones “in poverty” won’t feel singled out?
And I have seen with my own two eyes, more than once, grocery buggies filled with junk snacks, grape drank, steaks, roasts, etc, paid for with multiple EBT cards.
So cry me a river.
Easy solution, put 1/4 of the amount on their EBT card every week instead of doing it once a month. Not entirely sure how it all works but wouldn’t it just be an electronic addition to the EBT card?
Course, if there’s an expensive yet useless way to solve this problem, our government will find it.
Maybe if they didn’t spend it all on Newports and Old English 800...
They are at the AM/PM with a sad story.
No, its NOT that $374 isn’t enough, its that they spend it too fast on junk.
When you removed the strict guidelines and ceased the give aways, you asked for this problem. The answer is NOT more money...its better management.
Many food stamp recipients do work at low paying jobs and receive foodstamps to supplement their income.
I suppose getting (or even looking for) a job is out of the question......
Simple - renew the account every week. The trained apes will never want.
Oh, for God’s sake. I can’t even crack wise about this. You know damn well they’re going to demand weekly updates.
How about the administration ending its job- killing crusade ? Then we can end food stamps and welfare for all the millions of Americans they’ve forced onto welfare for lack of employment opportunities
I saw a hilarious video on facebook. Just looked it up, it’s here.
I worked at a convenience store many years ago. The EBT machine did not work so we could not process EBT cards.
Every single person who tried to buy something with their EBT card paid cash instead.
I did not have a single customer leave their items and walk out.
For what it’s worth.
Nevertheless, it wouldn't cost the government that much to do the debits on the 1st and 15th of the month, as much as I like avoiding shopping on the early days of the month.
Blah, blah, blah.
I suspect the family budget for beer, dope, smokes and lotto tickets still remains strong.
But food?
Nahh.
Is that what happens to these people? They work so hard that they get low blood sugar?
$374 is not enough for meals?
Like hell it isn’t
but the basics and disallow anything else
Milk, eggs, cheese, bread peanut butter... no cookies or lobsters or steaks - hamburgers and hot dogs only
LOL this article is hysterical!!!
i can’t count the number of people i met driving a cab who ADMIT to selling their cards for half price to buy drugs.
400 a month for 3?
why that’s only enough for 100 pounds of chicken, ton of potatoes, pounds of cheap cereal and money left over.
drink water. It’s free. and you’re not contributing anything anyway.
But i’m sure one day the SCOTUS will find it in the constitution.
So maybe they’re poor and hungry because they consistently make poor life decisions.
