So why when I go to Wal-Mart, things like big screen tvs don’t get applied to an EBT card?

I’ve read that EBT cards can have 2 types of benefits. Food assistance and cash assistance. If someone is on temporary assistance for needy families for example, this money is put on their EBT cards and can be used for anything.

Probably referring to the fact that if she had not had the EBT card, she could not have afforded the TV. The EBT card subsidized her purchase of the TV.

This is my question. Also, why was her card visible to him? I like VDH very much but this made me scratch my head.

I gathered that the woman buying the TV had an EBT card and VDH was questioning why she needed it if she could afford a new TV.

Yep forbidden just like foreign aid can't be spent on weapons.

I have a thousand dollars, should I spend it? On food or a television, oh wait maybe I can buy food with my EBT card and use the thousand for a TV. How cool is that?

That part of the story made little sense. She's holding the card while trying to put the TV in a car?
