I’ve seen some proposals where food stamps could only purchase staples... meat, milk, cheese, bags of beans, vegetables, etc. I’d be down with that.
Ive been in the grocery store where the people in front of me, a man a woman and a small child had steak, ribs, live lobsters, and crablegs..and I mean a lot! I figured they were having a very nice BBQ until she whipped out a Bridge card, which in Michigan is what food stamps are..
I was totally outraged, and the woman had a very nice engagement ring on.They were very well dressed. The system is a scam. I felt I was paying their grocery bill as well as mine, since I have to pay cash.
But an even worse story is this..a Muslim woman was in Farmer Jack’s, and she was loading up on all kinds of canned pop, bottled water, cheese, baby formula and stuff like that. She had a flat bed cart for all of it. When it came time to pay she whipped out a Bridge card (food stamps) and a WIC card for the rest.
The cashier was pretty upset, she was older and on the verge of crying it seemed..she said she was trying to retire and she couldnt and could she vent to get it off her chest..Sure!
She said the Muslim lady owned a gas station/convenience store up the road and that everything she buys, and she comes there often, goes to stock her store! We get to pay for that on welfare, and then again when someone buys it. She stocks her store for free.
