Tweeter's realtime report: Some 20-25 years back, when the program had some semblance of rules, supermarket shoppers got split orders----basics in the first order bought with food stamps; a 2nd order of steaks, lobster, other luxuries paid for in cash. These same food stampers would then get into late-model cars while Americans footing their bills drove clunkers and worked to pay their own food bills. Now we read that today the program---originally intended to help "working people" -----is 20 times worse---abused left and right.
OBAMA TAKES CARE OF HIS VOTERS These same scammers actually qualify for 100% subsidies under the atrocity known as Obamacare.

We are implementing the ancient Roman program of bread and circuses. EBT is the bread part and pro sports fill in for circuses(chariot/horse racing, think Ben Hur)

Our country is being raped and seems unwilling to say, “no more.”

This is insanity. The American taxpayer not only has to feed everyone in America, but now has to feed the world, literally. Anyone who is hungry can get food stamps if they find a way to make it into America. Our welfare system is rotten to the core. There is no way to repair it.

“For decades”???
” a special broad-based eligibility program that disregards income and asset requirements.” ??? What is this?
The US govt is paying illegals to enter our country while telling citizens the borders are secure.
