When you make people comfortable in their poverty they will never get out of it. Why should they? They have a roof over their head, heat in the winter, AC in the summer and plenty to eat.

No. They get the benefit put onto their card each month. Get this:http://www.kansascity.com/2012/11/12/3912822/missouri-to-audit-food-stamp-program.html
Using them in foreign countries ...

There is a grocery (chain) store on the way to my seasonal home and I would stop there before of got to the house.

I stopped going in there, as I would pay in cash and the register never had enough money in it to make the proper change for the bills that I tendered. It was nerve wracking in that I actually had cash and they would have to get a manager to bring change. Everyone would look to see the guy paying in cash.

Everyone in the store used EBT cards to pay for their bottled water, strip steaks and Edy’s ice cream.

Have started packing a cooler with perishables purchased at the grocery store near my primary residence and would buy milk, eggs and frozen stuff from the old lady who runs a small bodega type of country store nearby.

The two POS’s should be exposed for the leeches they are. College degrees in basket-weaving and they are surprised that they can’t get jobs.

Powered off-brand Mac-n-cheese here. During college, it was all I could afford.

Same here and would suppliment it with a can of cheap spaghetti. Was on the meal plan during the week and it was rare that I ate off campus. Tonight, just put a bought on sale chicken in the oven. Cut off the wings to add to the bag in the freezer for hot wings when there's enough. Also, mustard greens and a salad with chopped onion tops, bell pepper and banana pepper from the garden (which is going to get hit with freezing weather tonight). Which it's a pretty decent dinner, once in a while I'd like to be able to add imported Spanish olives to that salad, switch out the chicken with steak and lobster and finish it off with some gourmet ice cream with fresh berries drizzled with raw honey but I'm not Moochelle nor do I have an EBT card.

With SO MANY BUMS on food stamps we need to lower the poverty rate average!!!! Rock their worlds.

When I was off work for 3 weeks on Unemployment Comp. in the 80’s, I lived in Houston, TX. After an afternoon run I’d go to happy hours that fed you well!!! For $3 you could get two drinks and whatever they were dishing for happy hour!! A guy in the next apartment had a list of the places near and what they served on what day!! LOL!!

I was too embarrassed to go to the unemployment office for 2 weeks to apply as I did not understand then that I paid for this. I think benefits were only for 6 weeks then so you had to keep looking and didn’t have time for your brain to numb. We’ve lost Christianity in the ole USA...always just one generation away and we are almost there.

Oh, those hipsters- they are so cool. (not) I have started to openly mock these people, in public.

Just stand behind them at the store and roll my eyes. Talk about how stupid obama voters are when I see Obama stickers on their car, squish my nose up at them like they smell, and let them know I don’t think they are so hep.

No more Mrs. Nice guy.

And they wonder why they can’t find a job.

Is there a difference between food stamps and the access card

No difference. In fact, there are no stamps anymore. Its all electronic now, I'm told.
