“What am I supposed to buy now—just basics? None of the snacks go through on EBT.”
“I’m at checkout and it keeps declining—now I gotta use my OWN hard earned money for food."
The level of fraud and waste that went unnoticed for years is staggering.
1:14 VIDEO AT LINK OF WOMAN B!TCHING ABOUT EBT NOT PAYING FOR JUNK FOODS................
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
EBT...Every Body’s Taxes.
Yes, because not only are we paying for her junk food.
We are paying for her diabetes medication.
Then her weight loss medicine.
Then her high blood pressure medicine.
Then her cholesterol medication.
Then her cancer treatment.
All her free treatments under Medicaid.
Back in 1973 as newlyweds we were caught with job losses at the beginning of the gas crunch. No work available. He cleaned chicken houses...
We qualified and took food stamps for I think 3 or 4 months. And federal cheese. We had to go in I think quarterly to re up the food stamps... but didnt need to after that bump.
Iirc we received about 22.50 which is about 163 in today’s money. I learned to budget... Best thing that happened and life long. Only basics were permitted and I learned to cook with them. Burger, smelts, pig liver, potatoes, macaroni, PBJ, bag lunches.
Nothing junky was permitted on the stamps and they were coupons that were recognized by everyone. Shame is a motivator. Although I was extremely grateful.
Giving them food stamps is the pinnacle of nanny statism.
Tired of this slavery.
All should be damned.
The DC crowd should be imprisoned.
The overseas crowd cut off
The gal at the register given actual food stamps in 3 month intervals for basics.
Define basics ma’am...
Basics
meat
fish
Rice
Beans
Pasta
Fruits
Bread
Vegetables
Salt
Sugar
Flour
Yeast
Baking powder

Whenever Washington speaks about the problems of SS & Medicare, it’s important to remember that all those payroll taxes go into the General Fund where they are spent instantly on stuff like this. If fraud was eliminated from Federal programs our deficits would be considerably less, and the “emergency” for SS & Medicare would be less. The great hurdle is always getting Washington to behave responsibly.
I went to a college located in Appalachia in the late ‘70s. I can remember being in the grocery store and seeing people who would use food stamps for their groceries, taking them out to the car, then peeling off some twenties from a roll of cash and buying alcohol and lottery tickets. Gaming the system has been going on for decades.
They used to trade them for drugs
cleaning up food stamps
awesome
this is a step in the right direction
I am sure her husband is hard at work, making an extra effort to pay the rent and the car loan.
Ha Ha. I am joking. There is no husband.
One day did shopping rounds, Kroger, GFS, Aldis. At each store at checkout in front of me were people with EBT cards with loaded carts to my few items. At one the person had a few items that needed paid for with cash. She opened wallet and there was a stack of hundred dollar bills in there and she was pissed having to pay cash for a few items from a two carts worth of stuff.
Dressed better than me driving nicer cars🤔
Accent but an attractive white lady?! Still. It warms my heart!
She says “ridiculous” about 50 times. Her frustration is the tax payers reward!
I don’t think a lot of people raised on and living off processed food, really understand that.
Plus cooking from scratch takes time away from cable TV and video games...
People who are eating diets of processed foods probably suffered from or continue to suffer from malnutrition. During the formative years, malnutrition means disorders of the mindIn other words, anybody living off of that junk is probably mentally deficient and are headed down the road to diabetes.
As someone that stands in line at Walmart behind EBT card bearers I say let them use the card for any consumable they want. The usual suspects just hold up the line they make a big drama fuss about what’s allowed. I’ve heard personal threats and accusations, they put cashiers lives in danger. FIDO.
And who was recording this? The camera was steady and centered. This is not a person who has never “performed” before.
That kind of stuff always makes me suspect.
So, professionally created content—who is the audience? Is it us? Was the produced to make US happy that she is not buying snacks? Is it the left, to show how these “extreme” policies are affecting “white families?”
I have no idea who this was intended for…but it wasn’t spontaneous.
People need to understand and recognized when they are getting played.
Now here is a difficult to grasp concept for you dear, you better sit down.
But some sugar, flour, dates, raisins, oatmeal and make some cookies.
There are lots of videos on line to show you just how to make some tasty snacks.
