Anyone buying lobster and steak has no need of food stamps and therefore is committing fraud. Food stamps are for people who would starve without the help. They are not there so that people can eat better than the people paying for the welfare!

If someone wants to eat lobster one night and not have any more food for a week, why would you care? If someone qualifies for food stamps, they get a certain amount according to income. What they buy does not change anything. Selling food stamps is something else. I would imagine some really poor people may sell part of theirs for cash to purchase things other than food - like cleaning products, toilet tissue, etc. Food stamps don’t pay for those items. Why all the hate against people who get food stamps? I’m sure a lot of people receiving them have worked and paid taxes over a number of years and Obama’s economy has hit them really hard. Have a heart.
