That was my take too.
It read to me like retailers had the phoney ideas. Not SNAP card users.
So this would seem to be a income tax avoidance issue rather than a SNAP card halder fraud?
Probably drugs.
My friend in NYC tells me that he has friends on prescription drugs like synthetic opiates. They get them from medicare or medicaid. So these are free. They don’t use the pills, but they sell them. So I guess they take food stamps for these pills and drugs like Crack, then get reimbursed with Obama stash. Our money.
