Obama’s Welfare Nation – EBT Cards Now Being Used For Bail Money
Flopping Aces ^ | 04-24-12 | Curt

Welfare spending overall has increased 41%, food stamp enrollment has gone up by 70% since Obama has been in office, 5.4 million people have signed up for Social Security Disability payments. Tack on the massive abuse of EBT cards like this heroin dealer:

Kimball Clark, 45, was locked up Friday on drug-dealing charges — again — when he was overheard using his one phone call to ask the person on the other end of the line to “get my EBT card and go to the ATM and get the money to bail me out, get me outa here tonight,” according to a Boston police report.

And you can see just how much of a welfare nation we have become since Obama has come into office. Now people can use their welfare cards to take out cash and use it for whatever they want. Cigarettes, alcohol, and bail money. And according to this report from Massachusetts cash withdrawals make up 85% of all EBT card transactions:

According to that EBT Commission report, 85% of EBT benefits, or $77 Million in a three month period between October and Dec. 2011, were translated into cash at ATMs.

If it's that bad in Massachusetts, how bad do you think it is in Minnesota:

If we don’t reverse all this nonsense quickly, might as well stick a fork in us; we’re done!

We MUST get majorities in both houses of Congress, and will do better with the presidency (even a Romney). We need solid conservative legislators, which have been sorely lacking.

Cloward-Piven, Brewster’s millions, what’s the difference? Both are about wasting perfectly good money.
