In New Mexico, one news station tried to run a piece that would make SNAP recipients look sympathetic. They interviewed a woman who has been on SNAP benefits for more than thirty years.

30 years??? I thought this was a stop gap while people get back on their feet.
 
Next time you see a big ole' SNAPPER laid out in tattoo chair on a weekday at the mall...always remember, you covered the food.


Same for luxury boxes at a Redskins game....full of DEEP STATE parasitic creatures drinking free Vodka too. You covered it.

$38T ($28T on the muzzlim)
 
President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that the United States will not pay any SNAP benefits at all during the government shutdown, contradicting a court ruling a day earlier by his administration.

Trump said that the benefits, which help feed 42 million Americans, will resume only after Democrats in Congress agree to pass a stopgap funding bill that would reopen the government.

****yeah Trump. Foght these Obiden judges.

I live in new Mexico. I try not to judge anybody when I don't know what their circumstances are, but. . .

It is tough though when I'm in the checkout line at Albertsons and the woman ahead of me has a cart filled with stuff including bags of M&M peanuts, cookies, beer, wine, six packs and/or a case of cola, pop tarts, etc. And the checker has to sort the stuff to separate the EBT qualified stuff from the other.

Do people who can afford wine, beer, pop tarts, candy and such really need an EBT card?
 
I wish I had the answers, but I dont. The FED GOVT handing out money in Memphis to 100,000 names is inefficient. To put it mildly.

They found 700K names to remove and 5000 were dead from a sample of $100B spent.

On guy was getting EBT from 5 states?
 
Would make sense though for the scanner to do it. But with all the new products coming onto the market all the time, would require reprogramming the scanner an awful lot.
Tied to a server. easy peasy.....they order, track inventory the whole ball of wax.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm just saying I've watched them hand sort stuff at Albertsons. :)
No issue..... IT has this all wrapped into a nice little bundle. The one's that aren't there will be sooner or later.
You know like old windows platforms....👍
 
Possibly so. But I've watched them do it manually. Maybe all systems aren't the same?
Thats somebody's job to update the database every week.They have sales every week.. got to change prices

The beer and cigarettes and other things they easily exclude after an illegal alien swipes his ebt card ...that he supposedly doesnt have ....it knows these cards are not allowed to purchase something ...

Could be. I guess it's pretty pricey to set up a system to do the 'sorting' electronically and many small retailers just don't have that capability. These threads have encouraged me to read up and learn more about all this but I'm still pretty uneducated on it all.

Many MANY years--okay decades--ago I had not satisfied the then required six weeks of unemployment before I could start drawing benefits when I was offered a job. When I told the unemployment office I was going to work and wouldn't be needing unemployment, they insisted I accept two weeks' benefits.

That two weeks benefits--not even $100 total as I recall--was the only government benefit in cash I have ever received until I went on Social Security and Medicare.

But the EBT and other such programs do seem to lend themselves to all manner of theft and fraud. I think we're going to have to deal with that sooner or later. It seems to me that eliminating the cash aspect and just giving the needy the food directly probably could be justified as well as being better for everybody.
 
SUN is out. Why is this guy not working? See it all the time. There are roofs to be shingled, gutters cleaned, houses to paint. Yet so many just roam the streets looking for victims or a scam to run.

This one is on EBT. why?
