How can you tell who are EBT user is, it’s all credit card-based now. Do you look at a person and say, “oh food stamp recipient”?

“How can you tell who are EBT user is, it’s all credit card-based now.”

Without even seeing the card, if someone pays for food items with one card and uses another card or cash for non food items, it’s a good bet that an EBT card was involved.

The fraud cases are a drop in the bucket compared to the LEGAL rip-off of U.S. taxpayers through these stupid programs.

“Nutrition assistance” isn’t designed to stop hunger. It’s designed to be a massive subsidy for farmers, food producers and grocery store chains. Walmart is probably the strongest lobbyist for these things. I give it 5-10 years before people are allowed to use EBT cards to buy backyard grills, beer, and restaurant meals.

This is what happens when a country no longer aspires to do great things. Instead of sound anything useful and productive, we just set up government-run rackets like this.

CitiBank is now running commercials pushing their “commitment” to “ZERO Global Poverty”

The leftists lies & propaganda is never ending and continues to grow.

Two Answers:

1.) They don’t want “hunger” to end.

2.) They continually redefine hunger so it will never go away.

I remember forty five years ago, you could make a down payment on a brand new car using food stamps as the down payment.

That $200 would then become $2 in buying power. Raise the financial floor raises inflation.

Because hungry foreign INVADERS are allowed to pour across our southern border like packs of hungry wolves.

The more money that gets thrown at something, the more money that is stolen.

The other thing that is in every house is a big screen tv with cable. $200 or so a month

There is no hunger from what I can see. The “poor” in America are morbidly obese and own cell phones. One does not get that fat being hungry.

If we were producing petroleum products, like we should be, and not burning corn in our vehicles, there would be no need for concern.
The midwest is blanketed in corn fields, and the oil is there for the taking. It’s all political, and all by design.

Yep. I’ve lived in poor countries. I know what a hungry child looks like - and starving kids! I’ve never seen a kid in the USA who looked food-deprived. Not one!

Seen a HUGE number of obese kids, though....
