I look at it this way, you don't know the circumstances of the person with an EBT card. They might have a newer model car, but due to this god awful 0bama economy, they have lost their job, and their house, can't find any work, and all they have left is their car, or they borrowed someones car because they lost their car to the repo man too.
In a small town everyone knows everybody's business. Your comment might hold true for strangers but it's not absolute.
I only moved here a little over a year ago but I know the dirt on everyone even if I don't even know who they are yet
I wish we restricted what food stamps bought. Make them much more like wic.
Buying cokes, candy bars, and potato chips don't exactly sound nutritional. When using public dollars to buy food to sustain you, beggers can't be choosey
What do you care what they buy with it? They only get a couple hundred dollars a month. If they waste it all on crap like that, they are not going to be eating very well, and probably go hungry for part of the month. It's their choice.

$175/week for a family of 4. That's not bad considering it's a supplement to their own food budget money or supposed to be.
Family of 3 gets $131/week. I was able to get by on $75/week shopping store brands at our regional HEB. And I didn't skimp but I also don't buy preprocessed, already cooked food. And that included feeding two dogs.
Wow for a party that espouses personal liberties they're not very... liberating
