“We really need to look at where that money is going, what it’s being spent”

An investigation into food stamp fraud could yield big savings. There’s a black market in food stamps traded for booze and drugs.

OK. You think we need to track where the money goes. Right I agree but not at the buyers level. The teller, to not sell a bottle of wine, a loaf of French bread, and some pasta to an old lady with food stamps is ludicrous. Stop the fraud at who the hell is getting them in the first place. IMO

They don’t have “stamps” anymore like cash currency, used to but now it is put on a debt card with a PIN so it is harder to do that. But they can buy groceries for someone else at a huge discount in exchange for cash to buy booze and drugs.

Or even just for cash, where a SNAP recipient does grocery shopping for someone else, pays with SNAP, and keeps the cash.

AND illegals buy food to sell in their stores and to send back to their country for profit.

Basically it becomes the WalMart parking lot black market for discounted sought after food stuffs for cash.

It’s our cash to begin with so “we” ought to have a say in how it is used.

That said, the trick will be out tricking the tricksters and ending the parking lot game of easy cash for the EBT benefits they spit on when playing the game.
