FULL TITLE: Walmart to foot bill for food stamp spending spree fiasco sparked by computer glitch - because they were supposed to stick to $50 limit per customer
WalMart will have to pay for hundreds of thousands of dollars of groceries bought by Louisiana food stamp recipients after a computer glitch gave them unlimited funds on their government-issued credit cards.
The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, which oversees the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card program in the state, said WalMart could have instituted an emergency $50 limit for each customer, but chose not to - and as a result, the retail giant must foot the sizable bill.
It comes after dozens of welfare families with EBT cards picked the shelves bare in stores in Springhill and Mansfield on Saturday and walked away with up to ten shopping carts filled with meat and other groceries - in a spending frenzy described by local officials as 'worse than Black Friday'.

In today's hollwood brain&%$#ed society that makes you a racist, sexist, homophobic Neanderthal religious right wing extremist.
You have not submitted to the collective...more indoctrination for you.
Immediately stop what you are doing(thinking), shutdown your brain...and...WATCH MORE TV!
(let us tell you how/what to think...we know what's best for you).
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure....
Haaaaay, lets keep the lakes clean!
How many employees are you worried about having assaulted by rioting welfare mothers at an ATM machine?
If I’m managing that store, I’m on the phone to regional INFORMING them that I am allowing the transactions in order to maintain what little order is evident and NOT escalate the situation.
I’m then telling regional that the faster they can get a handle on what’s going on, the sooner I can empty the store and send my people home safely.
Arm-chair quarterbacking is the easiest bit of football there is to play.
Pond scum does have a purpose ya know!
I teach the kids of people like this. Let me tell you about the thought process that more than likely went through their minds. I would almost guarantee you that these people have no feelings of guilt about this at all. In their eyes, they did not do anything wrong. In fact, if you were to ask any of them why they did what they did, the blame would lie solely with Walmart. They would say that they,”caught Walmart slippin.” That is what, in their minds, justifies their actions. It is not the fault of the person committing the crime, it is the fault of whomever gave them the opportunity to do wrong. I hear this from kids all the time.
The commies have also been successful at dumbing down many of our youth (via schools, media, etc) to equal that of our welfare population. (No grasp of actual history, everyone gets a prize, regardless of performance, etc., etc.)
Sad situation for our nation to be in.
Clearly then it’s a cultural thing. It’s the Jeremiah “G-Damn America” Wright... Michelle “All of this for a flag” Obama mentality.
I think children that grow up, even with a loving single parent and grandparents, learn early to treat one another with respect. You learn at an early age what is right and what is wrong. And you bare the consequence of a bad conscience, sometimes for the rest of your life, for your actions.
These are adults acting like this.
