There should be absolutely NO EBT cards. Basic commodities should be sold on a sliding scare to the poor through commodity stores run by the USDA....not supermarkets. The welfare criminals who are getting rich off the taxpayers would be out of business.

I wonder how many people we could employ with the USDA food stores you are talking about. Paid for by the reduction in fraud.

And yes they should be sold as raw food so they would have to be prepared, not given as meals ready to eat or nuke.

I see civic centers in this too to help teach people how to manage. Classes that they don’t teach anymore like Home Economics.

I have no idea if it is feasible but sounds like it could be interesting.

NYC is absolutely notorious for welfare fraud which is why illegals make a beeline for it as soon as they get into the country. The NY Post did a whole report on this about 6 years ago, step by step showing how they do it. They get fake IDs on Roosevelt avenue in Queens, then go get welfare, then get another fake ID and keep going back and forth until they can support themselves and their family 24/7 living on tax money. No need for a job.

And incredibly absolutely nothing was done about it because the Despot Mike Bloomberg actually DEMANDS it if you can believe it. He absolutely refuses to do anything about illegals, says the city "would collapse without illegals" so they continue to rip off the taxpayers in between murdering them because they are never checked for criminal records. All the time I read about illegals killing somebody. There are tons of them here with records as long as your arm, but all that means nothing to Bloomberg which is why I moved the hell out. I'm not putting the life of my family in danger like this because some psychotic despotic psychopath like Bloomberg thinks it's funny to have killers walking around the public.

They found out the killer was an illegal who to date has not been found because he fled back to Mexico. They even found out what flight he took.

I’ve got a better plan. 3 MREs per family member per day. If its good enough for the troops, it’s good enough for the welfare class.

It was recently revealed that US Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat-NJ)-—using US govt authority and resources-—moved to discourage plans by the United States government to donate port security equipment to the Dominican Republic to detect drug cargo.

Menendez cited concern that the advanced screening gear might undermine efforts by a private company — a company run by Menendez’s major campaign contributor-—a friend w/ dual residences in Miami and the Dominican Republic.

Menendez’s intervention with the Department of Homeland Security came even though Mr. Menendez has publicly chastised the Obama administration for not doing more to combat the surging drug traffic moving through Dominican ports.

And it came shortly after the senator’s Miami friend, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, arranged to meet with a senior State Dept official, accompanied by a former aide to Mr. Menendez........in a related push to protect his company’s port security contract, which is worth as much as $500 million over 20 years.

News reports also revealed the Dominican govt was meddling in US affairs-—trying to save Menendez’s Senate seat from the dreaded Christie appointment. Obama stands ready to write the Dominican foreign aid check——just has to ink in all the zeros.
