Let’s see....1.4 million military personnel against 44.2 million food stamp recipients. Guess Barry’s just doing the math.
The Food-Stamp Crime Wave
The number of food-stamp recipients has soared to 44 million from 26 million in 2007. Not surprisingly, fraud and abuse are rampant..Millionaires are now legally entitled to collect food stamps as long as they have little or no monthly income. Thirty-five states have abolished asset tests for most food-stamp recipients. These and similar “paperwork reduction” reforms advocated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are turning the food-stamp program into a magnet for abuses and absurdities.
(Excerpt)
From the USDA website : “Thirty-five states have abolished asset test”
sounds like you can have a home and lot, but not more than $2,000 (or $3,000) in a bank account.
“Households may have $2,000 in countable resources, such as a bank account, or $3000 in countable resources if at least one person is age 60 or older, or is disabled. However, certain resources are NOT counted, such as a home and lot..”
So just go spend down your bank account and buy some 22” spinner rims for your Escalade, and you’ll be fine.
