In high school I worked in a grocery store. I estimate that half of the people using food stamps drove brand new cars, usually Cadillacs.

I also worked in a grocery store and that happened repeatdly to me. They’d pay with stamps, and I’d load their groceries into a new car.

I think welfare is a subsidy to car companies, luxury goods suppliers and drug dealers.

We were behind a young couple that looked pretty healthy using their card to buy 3 carts of groceries. No cheap cuts of meat. Over $1,100

And most are over-weight.

It’s Hispanic women with four kids driving a new Ram now.

At the local Walmart, Hispanics will fill several grocery carts and pull out a handful of SNAP cards, running each of them through the card reader until the groceries are all paid for.

Meanwhile, the poor and elderly are in line with the bare minimum and probably have to cut costs elsewhere to pay for it.

Cut off ALL welfare to illegals.

I did not give much credit to stories like yours until I was in line at checkout to a woman who used food stamps. I went into the parking lot with her and saw her load groceries into a new Cadillac Escalade.
