Food stamps and the abuse I see

[SwimExpert]

Thanks for confirming what I've always known. You're a pathetic, low life, piece of scum who fails at life and the only work you can get is at a gas station.

Either that, or you're a flaming liar.

Or both.

Why do you have to personally attack someone like you just did. If this OP has done it to you in the past well then I am sorry.
Even if you don't agree with what this OP writes , you do not need to hit below the belt.

Any way I have seen some lazy ass people laying around collecting from the Government too

I think you're misunderstanding the situation. I am not "attacking" Thanatos. I am simply stating the facts as Thanatos has consistently presented them. Thanatos is a pathetic, low life, piece of scum. He has proven and demonstrated this over and over again. Truly, he is one of the most vile pieces of shit and most disgusting excuses for a hominid one will ever encounter.

Were anyone....ANYONE to say about their self the things in this OP, simply adapted to imply a different political perception than his own opinions, the things Thanatos would say to that person would be so repugnant that anything I have said would appear to be praise on high. In short, I do not insult Thanatos in anything I have said, I merely tuck him into the bed he himself has made.

Then why are you wasting your employers' money by wasting your time here?

Because he has the kind of meaningless, good for nothing, job that where he can get away with it. And since he is the "manager" he gets 50c more than the minimum wage everyone else is getting.

I never pay attention to what other people do in the check out line. Republican working stiffs (and social security recipients), are obviously trained to be super snoops. "Oooooh, Rush was right, that Black woman bought ding dongs for her little pickanniny using her EBT card." Don't forget to tune in to fox news and rush for your hatred fix, all you busy bodies.

Yeah, I never get why Republicans are such busy bodies.

Agriculture Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Kevin Concannon today released a report that examines the trafficking rate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and better pinpoints where the vast majority of SNAP trafficking occurs—smaller stores that typically offer minimal access to the healthier foods encouraged by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In response, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin gathering public input on establishing stricter “depth of stock” requirements for SNAP retailers in order to discourage bad actors from entering and abusing the program. This move also supports USDA’s continuing efforts to improve SNAP recipients’ access to healthy foods.

The report indicates that the vast majority of trafficking – the illegal sale of SNAP benefits for cash or other ineligible items – occurs in smaller-sized retailers that typically stock fewer healthy foods. Over the last five fiscal years, the number of retailers authorized to participate in SNAP has grown by over 40 percent; small- and medium-sized retailers account for the vast majority of that growth. The rate of trafficking in larger grocery stores and supermarkets—where 82 percent of all benefits were redeemed—remained low at less than 0.5 percent.[...]

SNAP continues to have one of the lowest fraud rates for Federal programs. Over the past several years, USDA has taken steps to improve SNAP oversight through its SNAP Stewardship Solutions Project. USDA has seen declines in the rate of trafficking from four percent down to about one percent of benefits over the last 15 years. While fraud is rare in SNAP, no amount is acceptable, and it will not be tolerated.

I am standing here in a bar on a yacht, and in comes a Wall Street dealer. He tells me he bought the yacht from all the money he ripped off from 401k schmucks and because his capital gains aren't taxed at the same rate as the little people's incomes. Plus he gets to write off the yacht as a business expense. And then he laughs so hard he nearly chokes on his caviar.

So now those who invest and create jobs are really stealing money????? Now that some ass backwards liberal thinking for you.

What a rube. You think Goldman Sachs actually invests in job creation? BWA-HA-HA-HA!

Boy, you have really swallowed that hook, line, and sinker.

I am standing here at work and incomes this nice 2014 ford expedition. A lady steps out in the designer cloths comes in grabs a water some cashews and a small bag of chips and after I ring this up asks if I take ebt . I said yes. She then lifts up her 600 dollar purse and pays with ebt . She trout with the touch screen because her 30 dollar nails don't work on it.......

Wtf!!!! This infuriates me and it is not something rare. Me and my wife both work and make to much to qualify for food stamps and we drive a 2003 Buick that was handed down to us. I have to scrap for cloths and rent and bills everyday . My wife has entered had her nails done in well over a year. And yet here is this woman eating off my ******* tax money. I wish I could say this was a rare thing I see but truth is it isnt....it is more rare to see a person who is actually down on their luck using my tax money. Maybe it is time we do away with snap

I got a shock when I lived in Hilton Head, Sc.....I was in the grocery store and these women, very well dressed had three shopping carts full of groceries. They paid with food coupons....They got into Cadillacs....Unreal..
I keep saying that there are so many people gaming the system. Those people have no remorse. They have been led to believe they are OWED.

And have every right to be. They are spending our money after all.

Maybe it is time you went back to school, educated yourself and got a better job than assistant to the head cashier at your local Wawa.

Unbelievably idiotic response.
With you lefties, the problem is not fraud against the taxpayers. The problem is that the taxpayers aren't educating themselves enough to get better more high paying jobs to make sure the public trough remains full for the leeches and parasites.
Does that about sum it up?

Anothe ridiculous retort.
Question....What is the difference between someone committing fraud against the taxpayers and one who burglarizes your home?

 

[ShootSpeeders]

This is one reason so many people have stopped working. They see the crazy welfare state and say to themselves, "if you ca't beat 'em, join 'em.

 

[gipper]

So the rich are abusing the food stamp program.

While at the supermarket self check-out, I notice a lady at the kiosk in front of me paying her tab using an EBT card (bridge card). I failed to notice the items she purchased. Then while exiting the supermarket and walking in the parking lot to get into my 9 year old paid for automobile, I notice the lady getting into a new Mercedes C300. Great looking automobile.

I must be doing something wrong.

Try again...

Of course the federal government is all on top of the fraud. That's what they want us to believe.
Meanwhile, people sell their EBT cards and also cash their govt checks for a fee then spend it how they wish.
Meanwhile, the most packed parking lot anywhere near here is the one for the Social Services building.

Boy, you have really swallowed that hook, line, and sinker.

Yeah...Without venture capital, business does not exist. No jobs.

Do you refute my account?.....
Who the **** is "we"?
I don't give a shit what you believe.
And don't go mistaking this for a discussion.
You may shove your head back up your ass.

You should read the SEC financial filings of firms like Goldman Sachs. Venture capital is only about 10 percent of what they do now. They are all about enriching themselves at their clients' expense.

That whole "creating jobs" line is for the gullible.

The Reagan welfare queen myth makes another appearance. Shocking

Trolling liberal/progressive blogs only confirms your lack of credibility..
Genius.....55% of the federal budget is spent on social programs

GS is NOT the only investment firm in the country....
And what you state is true, GS would be LOSING clients.
Jeez....
BTW, what's stopping you from taking some of your money and investing it to make it grow for your retirement?
I know why.....Then as your nest egg grew, you'd have nothing about which to complain.

And 40% of federal revenues alone come from SS/Medicare taxes. Weird how small other taxes pay for those programs right?
