Unfortunately they are not really abusing the system...
Years ago, they received government surplus food and vouchers to pay for rent and utilities...Then the gov't decided it wasn't fair to them that we worker could buy the brand new tv dinners and they couldn't...Wasn't fair that we could buy ready made meals and they couldn't...It wasn't fair that we could buy candy bars and they couldn't...
Somewhere in there their kids started getting free school lunches...
Then the poor started getting food stamps to spend as tho it was money...And of course they were easy to sell and trade...The gov't made it easy for them to do...
It ended up that they got the EBT card to buy what they wanted and could even use the card to get cash...
We trash the people who abuse the system but their actually doing what the gov't allows them to do...
That’s true. I would say in response that even though what you say is true, the politicians that set this up abused the system, and those who use it abuse it too.
If you have the ability to do something wrong and not be taken to task for it, it’s still wrong.
