Better for the Government to outright pay for the quick release of a low-level "criminal" than have taxpayers continue to float the bills for non-violent crimes.
Sentences should be determined by how many people you have effected.

I wonder what the sentences should be for the banksters that took those bonuses on us taxpayer's dime, AFTER we bailed their a**es out for making p*** poor business decisions?
Absolutely. People like my grandmother, at age 90, should be publicly humiliated for daring to be poor. $60 a month, on our dime? What kind of country does she think this is?
How dare she.
Maybe you should do your fair share by actually helping to support your 90 yo grandmother.
You'd rather her be on public welfare then you help buy her some groceries ? I thought family should help family. Good example of what welfare creates.

Why has the Feds not come down on them, that's their job ? Maybe they give large contributions to all the politicians just to cover their bases.
I'm sure most people that use those cards are embarrassed about it. Why would you further embarrass them because they are on hard times? They only receive it to feed their children.
And how do some of you notice what type of card the person in front of you use? As many times that I have grocery shopped, I never fixate my eyes on what card they use. I'm too busy placing my groceries on the counter.
Well there are others, like the drug dealer mentioned in this post, getting more than $60/month (bail is usually a heck of a lot more than $60) and using it for non food items.
because it was their cash amount and not their food stamps.
Fair enough, but why focus on piddling stuff like this? If your priorities are a lean, efficient government, the trillions upon trillions we spent propping up banks that should have gone out of business makes social service fraud look laughable by comparison.
I guess executive bonuses don't incense you as much as some criminal cheating the system out of a few hundred bucks but if that's the case, your priorities are seriously out of whack. We could have paid off every mortgage, every student loan, with the money we gave the banks. We could have fixed the roads, funded pensions, helped the poor, made this country a better place. Hell, even if you don't believe in all that, we could have bought some pretty cool new toys. Instead, our tax dollars were divvied up among the already rich to pay off bad bets.
This drug dealer can pay for whatever the hell he wants with his piddling government assistance, it's just flies feeding on a corpse.
2/3 of my states budget goes to stuff like this.
Do you know why the banks failed? People didn't pay their mortgages. In many cases they could have, but chose not to and just walked away. I know it's convenient to lay all the blame on faceless "banks" or a couple CEO's that for the most part make a lot less than a decent baseball player....but you might want to wake up and look around and the full range of culpability.

Trotting out your granny does nothing to evoke sympathy from me.
