I might be the only one, but I think there should be lots of negative stigma attached to food stamps. The debit card look alike is too easy.

I know a few college grads who are on food stamps because they refuse to get paying jobs and instead do things like theatre for/with the homeless or some other service for other people on food stamps. It’s absurd.

I never knew they had little cards that looked like debit cards until I pushed that button on the little machine you run the card through.

I thought EBT meant “Electronic Bank Transfer”-like from my debit card. I thought it was the same thing as an EFT(Electronic Fund Transfer).

Hubby heard on the news this morning about how the government is going to stop funding tattoo removal in our state. He was outraged and couldn’t believe something like that was even funded in the first place.

A lot of people hear about stuff like that and probably feel like suckers for working.

We try not to watch the news a lot anymore. It raises our blood pressure too much.
