Ok RK...fair enough.

But still, your fellow conservatives are coming on here claiming that THERE WAS NO FRAUD ON WALL STREET!!

Moreover, the fact that a person that paid her restitution on 4 grand in food stamps is making you guys so angry while Wall Street graft doesn't even cause you to look up from your meat loaf dinner says a lot.

That's my point.

Problem is people would not hate safty net programs so much if they were not abused. Easiest way to keep abuse down is to prosecute those that do.

White collar fraud is harder to prove in Civil court- Is why Wall Street banks get away with murder and get top notch attorneys.

An EBT welfare person gets legal aid, if she's lucky.

IMO theres a special place in hell for all Corporate fraud felons. Look what happened to Madoff's son.

Food Stamp fraud is illegal.

Get the facts and get back to me.
Absolutely. As usual the bleeding hearts choose to ignore the crucial details:

Thanks to the OP though. I never knew that RS was such a disgusting whiny moonbat rag.

Unless there is more to the story I don't think jail time is appropriate.

I'm not angry at all. I think all criminals should be prosecuted. I would start with the thieves at Solyndra, Freddie and Fannie.

Since Obama refuses to prosecute these big criminals, he should be impeached or voted out of office.

IMO, there's a special place in hell for Obama and others who protect their buddies....and bail out their buddies.
