I hate to tell the NYT, but I have seen the Food Stamp Queens and Kings with my own eyes. Sorry, guys, but the phenomenon is real.

Me too. Two very well dressed ‘Hispanic’ ladies with two carts full to the brim with the best food. Saw them getting into a brand new Escalade later. What a great country, unless you work for a living.
I was approached by a black woman in Wal-Mart one day and she wanted to pay for my groceries with her food stamp card, so i would give her the $$ in cash..................
With my own eyes: King Crab legs, steaks, & the most expensive bagged dog food in the store. Two carts full of stuff that I (working full time at a good salary & living independently) could not afford. The man & woman were dripping with what appeared to be very nice gold jewelry, they both had cell phones, & the woman was dressed to the “T”. I’m still pissed off ..... and this was a few years back.

It was real when I worked in a grocery store in the late 70’s/early 80’s.
And how many Jose’s and Maria’s have you seen who pay with EBT AND have a thick wad of cash to pay for the items that can’t be paid for with food stamps?
Who ya gonna believe - your own lying eyes or - the New York Magazine and Claire Landsbaum?
