Yes, it was meant more as a figure of speech. I see them whip out their EBT (US Taxpayer Gift Cards) every time I am at the grocery store. (Our register screens show the payment type.)

I would still like to see a poll and article written explaining how many millions of EBT $$$ have been processed, during the government “shut down” - especially to those here ILLEGALLY!!

I won’t hold my breath! :-)
