Kennedy brother-in-law Sargent Shriver ran LBJ's Office of Economic Opportunity. In 1967, when about $700 million a year was devoted to food assistance programs, Shriver estimated that another billion dollars would permanently solve the problem of hunger in America.

Hmmm. That's interesting information. Does Maria know her father was a moron?

Sure she does, that’s why she married Arnold. She wanted a moron for a husband, just like daddy was.

I doubt it because so is she as well as the rest of the morons on both sides of that family!

Now, instead of getting 'food stamps' they get a CREDIT CARD where they can withdraw MONEY to buy things besides food. They also use them at the CONVENIENCE STORES where the food is already prepared. We wouldn't want their precious little fingers actually WORKING to prepare the food, now would we?! /s

Eighteen indicted in $700,000 food stamp fraud case

PHOENIX — Indictments have been returned against 18 individuals, including four merchants, involved in defrauding the government of about $700,000 in food stamp benefits.

The charges, announced Thursday by state officials, involve a scheme where legitimate food stamp recipients were selling their electronic benefit cards for cash, mostly to retailers. The buyers would give the sellers one half the value on the card and pocket the balance.

Three of the stores involved are in Phoenix, with one in Mesa. State officials declined to identify any of those involved the investigation is ongoing.

a typical action would involve a food stamp recipient going to a store and buying a small amount of eligible groceries, handing the merchant the debit card that is now used instead of the old “food stamp’ coupons.

But the retailer would deduct the full balance on the card, giving the recipient half of that, with the other half being credited to the retailer’s account.
