“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.

Hate to tell you, the phone is free. The service plan is free. Lifeline. Anyone with an EBT card is eligible to get one.
Quite relevant comments - I’m sure that is what she was thinking about when she couldn’t buy snickers bars with her EBT....
Yep, I see “Sell your (Medicaid/MediCal) blood glucose (diabetes) test strips” posters and magnetic car door signs with phone numbers on them a lot.
Taxpayers get hit on both ends of the deal.
Agreed. Bad eating habits flow to other assistance
paid for by those who work
and pay taxes. Diabetes, heart
disease, kidney failures,
obesity. All can be attributed
to poor diets. And
the taxpayer that pays for
the misuse of EBT is also
on the hook for those medical
treatments when one is a welfare
recipient.
She can still buy them, just not with ebt.
Negative sympathy.
I just hope your wife is kind to her patients. After what we experienced with what passes for care at the hospital, I would recommend everyone stay out of the hospital—you are better off at home.
At the time of the writing of the Constitution the churches took care of the poor. Americans
Now they only cater to the illegal aliens
EBT. Eat Basics Tubby
If you buy food with other people's money....ie with taxpayer money....its got to be healthy food and not junk. Boo hoo hoo. Too damn bad. If you don't like it, then don't accept the FREE food being given to you. That's not being nanny state or controlling, that's putting quite reasonable terms on the FREE things being GIVEN to you. If you want to buy junk, get a job and earn the money for it.
I was in line a few years ago at a grocery store checkout and a woman in front of me had a large plastic jar of ‘pub snacks’. IIRC, it was almost $10 and she kept staring at it and finally asked me, do you think I should buy this? I didn’t know her and didn’t know what to say so just shrugged. She pulled out an EBT card so WE could pay for it. As she was leaving, I asked, ‘now why did you go through all that when it didn’t even cost YOU a penny.” She said nothing.
I have seen dozens of Hispanics over the past few years who have done the same thing. They have CARTS of food and pull out a stack of EBT cards FROM DIFFERENT STATES to pay for OUR FOOD that they are stealing.
They have ribs, chicken, steaks, cookies, cereal, all kinds of ethnic foods - things ordinary Americans can’t afford to purchase and these invaders get them for FREE. Then they pull out the cash to pay for their CASES of beer. It is obviously a joke to them that we pay for their weekend BBQs.
Has anyone else noticed that they are more out, loud and proud now - as if they aren’t scared of being deported anymore?
Very.
Big time.
I like this quote from your link.
Should be spread further.
If one thinks about it there is no incentive for bureaucrats who oversee these programs to administer them responsibly. The bigger the demands for the benefits means bigger budgets, increase in personnel, more opportunities for advancement, fraudulent benefits for themselves with virtually no negative consequences. Is it any wonder things have gotten as bad as they are?
It’s corporate welfare.
Watch ... the bottlers and junk food companies are downsizing. Which will cause the big food chains to downsize.
It’s been a merry-go-round
Been going on for years
Around three yrs ago, I was at a Ross in Orlando during the Bidet regime. I saw a Mexican woman with two carts overflowing with linens, a set of dishes, pots, pans, a pack of silverware, towels, rugs, pictures, decor - she was obviously purchasing things to furnish an entire home. I knew right away that she was using some of the TENS OF THOUSAND$ that Bidet had given illegals to immigrate here to furnish her new home, compliments of American taxpayers. She spoke Spanish - my sister asked her something about something in her cart and she couldn’t seem to be able to respond in English so I assumed she was a fresh illegal.
I hope Biden has bleeding diaper rash.
Now everyone walks around with a bottle of fluid and every two hours they eat something.
Because we then pay to keep their unhealthy bodies alive.
