Holy , these things are so awesome.
My cousin is staying with us and he gets it. It's like a gift from god.

Me too.
I guess I had heard about these before though. Basically it sounds like a more efficient replacement for food stamps. Good idea.
We've been through this on the politics forum, and aren't they highly restrictive on what you can buy? I don't think you're even allowed to buy parishables.
They went to Smart and Final and bought a bunch of stuff. Just can't buy beer and cigarettes.
No, you can't buy religious articles, but you can buy perishable food items.
I know a guy that get's $600 a month... 600!!! They eat better than I do.
WTF? Is this guy's every meal steak and shrimp?
That's ing nuts if it's 3 people or less, especially if it's one dude. I can't imagine what the kinda food I would spend 600 dollars a month on
Yep, it's disgusting that they give so much of hard working people's money to others. Politicians buying votes.
Just went through the calculator. If he gets $600, he is probably committing fraud somehow.
Or he's just talking .
Pimp the system.
No. It's him, his wife and 2 small kids. He doesn't work and never wants to, his wife works a low paying dead end job. He brags about how much he gets, I've seen the amount personally. I wouldn't say frauds out of the pic, since he's not even supposed to be within a 1,000 feet of his wife, lol.
Oh, good catch. Give me your address and I'll FedEx you a golden star sticker.
I was a cashier in a grocery store for a short while a while back and let me tell you, the amount of people on foodstamps is not only surprising but so is the amount of welfare they get. we would have redneck families come in with 3 kids, then the oldest daughter has 2 more of her own and they would literally spend over 1,000 dollars in food stamps. I'm talking about 3 cart fulls of , and have us help them out to their car with it and not even give a tip. And they were usually some of the fattest pieces of , buying mostly frozen processed dinners, cokes, etc like that. It always pissed me off, here I am cashiering for damn near minimum wage for 38 hours a week to put myself through school and they are just getting their for free.
Where was this? Those rednecks probably vote republican too, and yet they milk the foodstamp program for all it's worth. Just like Joe "the Plumber" who can't welfare but took it because he "deserved it".
Texas. And it wasn't just redneck families either, a lot of blacks too. I think I saw people of just about every race using food stamps. It was the sheer amount of they would buy with it that always amazed me..600-800 dollars worth was a somewhat common occurrence.
I was going to say, how the do you buy $500+ of groceries at once until you pointed out it was all sucking junk food. Food stamps for Cokes is asinine.
Idot post again from you.
If he's talking , he's not getting the $600, right?
You have a loser like that as a friend? You let a loser like that stay with you?
Gourmet frozen dinners ain't cheap scrah! Neither is 3 tubs of Ice cream, 5 twelve packs of cokes, frozen pizzas, etc...it was enough to make you sick, and it's all on your dime!
But...
But...
But...
They are the 99%, right?
I actually don't have a problem with people who got laid off and have worked hard for 20 years getting food stamps while they get back on their feet. Not EVERYONE on food stamps is an asshole, a lot of people who also thought they were better than that and would never get laid off unfortunately did in recent years. I have a problem when you're a single mother with 2 kids, and shouldn't have opened your legs for some thug loser in the first place getting them. Or the families with 3 or 4 kids living at the poverty level, it's like damn kids are a responsibility like everything else, you should have made sure that you could afford them first. Or the people who just make a career out of welfare, THAT stuff really is annoying.
