Use of firearms in crimes rare but troubling.
Does that mean the Times is OK with that also?
HUH? Michelle 0bama thought everyone was too stupid to choose what their kids should eat at school.
Did Trump say that disabled veterans are too stupid to choose their own food?
Wow, facts from the New York “there is no famine in the Ukraine” Times. They’re just not credible.
I suspect the fraud rate involving food stamps is closer to 50%.
You’re actually quite gullible if you swallow that 1.3% figure.
I call B>S> on this EBT cards are sold for cash That’s how the ghetto dwellers get their liquor and lottery. This is blatantly false.
I don’t know where they come up with that number, but it’s way, way off. Figure more like 20-50% IMHO. How many people buy goods only to resell them for cash? How many people sell their card to someone else for cash?
If the NY Slimes thinks anyone believes that headline...rare fraud...come on. The fraud is rampant.
Fake News Headline.
You actually believe the government when it tells you something?
Wow. Just wow.
“Trump thinks that disabled veterans are too stupid to choose their own foods. “
Trump thinks that was a stupid post.
“Rare” my ass! More like the norm.
There are many ways to commit fraud with the program.
Here is one example:
Create a little neighborhood store.
Put green beans on the shelf priced at $5/can.
Sell the can of green beans to a food stamp recipient.
Give the buyer $2 refund under the table.
Pocket the $3 profit.
Put the can of green beans back on the shelf.
Repeat over and over again.
A deputy sheriff in the county I was born in got busted for doing that.
The only reason he got caught was because he got greedy.
Because 98.7% of the people who get food stamps are paragons of virtue right? I don’t know what is worse, the Slimes spouting the 1.3% figure or people actually believing it.
The N.Y. Times article is propaganda! In NYC alone, the food stamp program FRAUD is extremely high! People are making money off it by claiming that they need it and then buying nonperishable things and sending the packages off to places like the Dominican Republic ( that's where the biggest trafficking was going on just a couple of years ago ) to friends or relations, who sell the stuff on the black market.
Then there are the multitude of cases, all over this nation, of food stamp misuse ( using them to buy soda, candy, other junk and/or VERY expensive items like lobster )that have been reported on, for a very long time.
GROSSLY under reported.
Having worked in the grocery business I call their figure bogus.
Maybe 1.3% are actually caught and punished for doing it.
But I’d bet at least 50% engage in it.
“All because the food stamp program has a fraud rate of 1.3%. “
Bull Shit. So you believe the NYT? You are a fool if you do.
And what of the percentage of overall food stamps benefits that go to illegals?
Stop the illegal getting food stamps.
How much does that cost us?
