Now this is something that I am proud he is doing in order to set an example. As you recall, last month Food Stamp recipients in Louisiana took advantage of a Walmart glitch and raided several stores of food and anything else you can imagine for several hours charging hundreds of dollars over their monthly limits. Well now, thanks to Senator David Vitter pushing to have the criminals who did this prosecuted, Governor Jindal has agreed and will go ahead with steps to have them prosecuted and have their Food Stamps stripped. Now watch the liberal media attack Jindal and Vitter for being racist for doing this to these oh so called poor minorities. What Jindal should do is expand the stripping of the food stamps to not only the Walmart looters but to all the abusers in the state. Don't y'all agree?
Jindal moves to strip food stamps from abusers | Home | The Advocate ? Baton Rouge, LA
The Jindal administration announced late Wednesday that it is moving to strip food stamps from recipients who took advantage of a technical glitch last month to stock up on free groceries.
The announcement came after U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., pressured state officials to take action by taking away food stamp benefits and forming a task force with local prosecutors to bring criminal charges. Retailers lost money when they allowed food stamp recipients to leave their stores with groceries even though they could not check spending limits. When the transactions were processed later, thousands bounced back because recipients exceeded their food stamp balances.
Smartphone images of empty store shelves and bulging grocery carts at Wal-Marts in Springhill and Mansfield made national news.
The state Department of Children and Family Services said Wednesday that retailers across the state got 12,000 nonsufficient funds messages.
If only Vitter were as tough on the idiots on Wall Street that "looted" our economy in 2007.
