I have had many instances where welfare recipients offer to put $25 of gas in my car for $15 in cash.
Yes, the welfare recipients are the people who offer the best deals. Just like when they'll sell the WIC coupons or use of their food stamp card because they want more money to shop at the mall.
What ? Those fatcat Welfare Queens in Wall Street/Banking/Insurance/Car companies
can no longer buy liquor!!!!
But,.... but.... but how will they play a round of golf?
Entertain???
Ya mean they can have huge bonuses, spend millions on office remodeling jobs, have lavish parties, get Giant retirement packages, fly their own jets on our money but they can't get ALCOHOL!!!!!!!
Whew! I'm glad somebody put the brakes on this waste of taxpayer's money!!!!!!!
I don't know what State you are referring to that permits that, in VT, I believe, food assistance means food assistance; alcohol, cigarettes, TP, paper towels, are NOT covered under food assistance. I might want to check that out in the different states.
What the welfare types do in places where there are deposits on cans is buy up cheap soft drinks which can be bought with food stamps, then they go out in the parking lot and pour out the pop and go back into the store to get the cash and the beer, wine, cigarettes, lottery tickets and whatever else they want that requires cash. $0.60 a 6 pack in some states -- it doesn't take that long to pour out the cans.

Oh ya, that is a huge scam!!! Even bigger than financial instituions causing the U.S.economy to crash ands burn and then getting bonuses because they did what they were supposed to do.....didn't cost the the taxpayers a thing, did it????
My gf know people who live off of welfare, (drives me bonkers).. They are at the bar and/or partying nearly every single day.. I wonder how much closing this loophole will adjust their drinking and partying..

Why did Obama and your democrat Congress give those crooks the bailouts? I agree the bailouts were a very terrible thing to do.
Clarify: In no state can you legally purchase alcoholic beverages with food stamp benefits. Ok...then there are cash benefits (not the same as food stamp benefits) (AFDC/TANF, child support, etc) that people can use like a regular debit card at the grocery store or wherever.

Welfare is welfare.
One track bash the poor mentality is the sign of a bully mentality...and shows a deep rooted fear of the wealthy.
