I don’t see how that can keep up. The cards are not worth enough to buy such food daily. A recipient isn’t going to be trying that for very long before he or she learns some math.

That EBT card is just their Obama money. They make their REAL money selling crack and their sisters.

That's kind of the point. The majority of recipients ARE able to feed themselves, and buy their cigarettes and alcohol, too. The EBT cards are extra cash, for luxuries. Some buy high-end foods. Others sell them for 50-70% of their value, and use the cash for other distractions.
