All I see is about two thirds of the EBT card users whom I stand behind in the supermarket checkout line are buying food which I can't afford and driving away in cars I can't afford either.

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.

My father does charity work on a weekly/monthly basis for a local organization that served the poor. He used to take meals and food to families "in need". After 5 weeks, he had to request another assignment from them. He said he would no longer take meals and food to people who lived in nicer houses, had newer and bigger TVs, and drove nicer cars than he did. The last straw was the large hot meal he took to a family in a nice neighborhood, with a Cadilac in the driveway, a 60" LED TV in the living room and had to wait for the husband to finish his conversation on his I-phone. He said, if it happened again, he would divert to a house hold that seems "more in need", like his own or his children's.

Yes indeed, I forgot to mention that-the vehicles I see them loading their steaks and grape drank into. My husband tells me that they most likely lease them, but I don’t understand how they can even get a lease, their credit must be at best non-existent if not shot to hell.

My brother works 12 hr. shifts 6:00pm-6:00am and sometimes up in the night he will run to the local convenient store to get some snacks for his crew. One night on the 31st of the month it was around 11:45pm and he went on a snack run and noticed cars lined up around the bank building and convenient store parking lot full of cars. He asked the clerk what is going one with all these people in the lots this time of night?

The clerk just shook her head in disgust, they are waiting for midnight and their government SSI checks and EBT’s cards to hit and then they overwhelm the ATM’s and head to walmart and the stores.
