Food producers are getting a free ride with the EBT card. How much of the non essential food group would be purchased by a family on a real budget! While they hit the Gov for maximum return the average family is in that loop. there can be no second tier so while raping the Government. The hard working are in the mix! I would like to be corrected on this but I think EBT card users get a discount @ the register. Guess who picks up that tab!
Oh yes. While the idiots attack Wal-Mart they also shop there.
Grocery will admit the #1 buyer is the federal government.
I don't know about elsewhere, but in Virginia the only "discount" EBT card holders get at the register is they don't pay sales tax on food. However, they do have to pay the sales tax on any discount they get with the use of coupons.
