Day in and day out people say for their food with food stamps, & then they are able to buy beer, cigarettes, food for their pets, etc. No wonder they can also live in great houses.

They also have ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, huge pole barns and spendy vehicles. They see the latest movies and fuel money for the vehicles seems to be no problem.

The powers that be in their infinite wisdom seem to be incapable of policing exactly who is truly "disabled" or "entitled." There are people truly needy, but lawyers and the government have partnered up to include everyone so that no one is stigmatized except the taxpayer who is fleeced for every penny of it including government salaries and legal fees.

If they can do it for OSHA fraud, why not welfare and disability income fraud???????

It doesn’t say how old she was, whether its financed by a mortgage or paid for and whether she reported all her income to the government. Only if she concealed income would it be a matter for criminal charges to be laid and that would be for not paying taxes on it. Food stamps don’t qualify as income.

Food stamps are not to be used for anything but buying food. Any other use of them is fraud.
