EBT should end at 711, Wendy’s and all the fast food chains. I can understand groceries but most of the pukes who hold that card are younger than me and drive expensive cars. Welfare my ass..

I did a lot of work at public housing projects over the years.
Most of them drove nicer vehicles than I did.
I told the story here one time when i was having a bad day and this clown held up the long line bec. his EBT card has zero and was arguing with the clerk for 10 minutes that he had money in it..
I yelled at the tard’ to get out of the line for people who actually work for a living. He wasn’t homeless 100% as he wore brand new Nikes..
EBT should get you basic, nutritious, boring staples. Beans, bulk processed cheese, oatmeal, dried corn, split peas, etc. OK with me if the distribution point is the crappy foods section of a regular market or Walmart.
The point is, the food should be helpful, but not luxurious. Boring and nutritious... so you'd want to get off of the program.
I was once in a supermarket behind a couple of well-dressed latino women, with a well behaved child. THey had two large shopping carts filled to overflowing with good stuff, and pulled out the EBT card. It wasn't enough, so they paid for what was left over with an American Express card!
