Sydney Phillips of www.thecollegeconservative.com shows you how to get food stamps without really trying. She's a college student who was conducting a social experiment on how difficult or as it turns out easy it is to get food stamps, now known as an EBT Card. She goes through the motions, not really complying with the necessary steps, failing to provide require earnings data and winds up getting her card in the mail a month later. And best of all, she can get $200 per month, to feed a hungry family of one. For many students, but not Sydney, this is the difference between being able to purchase marijuana, go to social events or even take a trip home to see the family.
This is just another case of indoctrination. Show the young college students that it's not really that big a deal going on the dole and that everyone does it! This helps break down that stigma of being a ward of the State and sets the individual up to be a lifelong participant in the entitlement state. Not that there are not people who really do need such assistance, of course there are many, but the danger is that people become addicted to free money and benefits, compliments of Uncle Sam. This is a danger to our way of life and to the continued economic viability of the country.
You're exactly right. It's harder to get off of them than it is to get on.
Its very nearly the same as having a Gov’t program that flew a helicopter over cities, and dumped $100 bills out the door.
Actually, this has already been posted twice.

Both previous times the article was attributed to the actual author.
You have seen fit to attribute it to Larry Putz, some blogger
who apparently rips off other people’s work and tries to use that
deception to get blog hits. Why would you help a putz like that?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Assisting a plagiarist blogpimp? What other scummy acts do you favor?
When my best friend fell on hard times, she considered applying for food stamps. She was told that she could earn $25,000 a year and still qualify (and she was single with no dependents). My friend ultimately decided against food stamps. Our generation avoided welfare. Heck, I wish I didn’t need Social Security.
Relax Gunner.
Honey Badger doesn’t give a poo poo.
I had honey badger sauteed in butter for breakfast.
With gravy and Texas toast.
I have over a period of time become an admirer of your critiques.
“Kinder, gentler” works. ;^)
Like this is new.
Back in the early 1970s the off-campus housing office at the local state univ. handed everyone who came in a food-stamp application.
Yep, that's gunner alright. LMAO!
It was part of the probation package.
Well, we finally know whose face to put on food stamps.
honey badger and eggs! Sounds like a winner.
