there are restrictions on what EBT canbe used for, and they show up at the register, therefore they’re programmed in. just because a store accepts, doesn’t mean that the EBT can can beused on every item in the store. I know people who have EBT, and it isnt’ what it is being presented inthe article as.
there are enough problems with EBT without making more.
Then how do you explain the MA EBT money showing up in HI and other exotic locales? I doubt they’re traveling to these places to do their weekly grocery shopping. And if they can’t afford to buy food, how is it they can afford airfare to resort islands?
Maybe this is part of the problem. I don't personally know anyone on public assistance. There was a time in America where the public aid was limited and shortterm. Now it's commonplace.
If you bury your head in the sand, you do know what part you're leaving exposed?
