Massachusetts welfare recipients have been using their EBT cards while on tropical vacations to Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other trips thousands of miles away from their home state, an investigation by the Boston Herald revealed.
Public records obtained by the outlet showed dozens of EBT card expenditures at several popular vacation destinations, including California, Florida, and Alaska, as well numerous holiday islands.
While the federal and state governments spent $3 billion on the taxpayer-funded EBT cards in Massachusetts during Fiscal Year 2024, 32 charges were made in Hawaii — with the largest expenditure being $378 on the island of Maui in March, the report found.

I always wanted to visit Barbados. Maybe one of those illegals will go for me. At my expense, of course.
Boxes of beans. Boxes of cheese. Boxes of powdered milk. That should be all that the Welfare office should ever offer anyone. The “help” isn’t helping.
Worst Alcoholic Beverages for Your Health
1. Piña Colada
The typical piña colada contains hundreds of calories and is laden with sugar; basically, it’s a lot of caloric intake with very little nutritional value.
2. Mai Tai
Tropical drinks, like Mai Tais, are usually made with sugar-heavy juices and, occasionally, pre-made mixes. The excessive calories contained in fruity cocktails like this can displace more nutritious foods and well-rounded meals, causing you not only to gain weight but also to become undernourished.
The side gig dealing drugs is lucrative.

Take a drive thru your local government housing during the work day and gaze upon the very nice cars and trucks. That is all you need to know about the commies ebt vote buying program.
EBT and welfare benefits have always been spent for things other than what they were meant for.
I used to have a girlfriend who actually had 2 extra kids (for a total of 4) so she could collect more welfare and never have to work again, and she also received the EBT payments, which she traded for cash in order to go to the Indian casinos in Florida. Oh, and she also got subsidized housing.
I did say “I used to have girlfriend”, right? I couldn’t stand the thievery.
That’s the “better life” all the illegal alien invaders are coming here to climb aboard to ride to the happy land! The land of the grande piñata!
America has some of the richest poor people in the world.
EBT will work in all 50 states
Not sure bout Puerto Rico
Enjoy your vacation!
Send a postcard you hear?
I won’t be going on vacation this year — can’t afford to.
Sure gives one an idea of grocery costs in Mass. If not paying for them allows one to save up for a tropical paradise vacation.
It is important for people to get fresh fruits and vegetables, and nutrient rich low fat protein like fish. And where is a better place to get these than on a tropical island?
Massachusetts citizens shipped slaves in from Africa, sold them to the South and when they got cheap Irish labor pointed fingers at the South for owning slaves. They tried to secede during the War of 1812 because it hurt their business interests and pointed fingers at the South when they did the same. They were all for bussing in Southern schools until Federal mandates forced them to bus students and then protested like hell....They are at the start of most of our problems.
Note to self: if you ever make it back to the Keys, stick with Bloody Marys and Rum Runners.
