All this food stamp Snap horsedoo is setup to be scammed, has been from the start. Sort of another reparations methodology and they get by because they also let crackers scam.
There used to be a perfectly good way to feed the poor, it was called Commodities. There was a small local outlet run by USDA that would give those authorized enough essential foods for a week or so. Am betting the grocers wanted in on this action and waaalaaa Food Stamps through the stores that didn’t give a damn is the system was scammed so long as they got their “share”.
