We need a crackdown on all benefits programs and susidies, in other words, weed out the phony rich and poor subsidy programs....That is from the drunken, stoned out moochers up to the corporate welfare moochers.
Because it would probably outrage Americans, that's why.
We get glimpses via MSM stories. States do collect data. How else would we get stories of how CA, FL and HI see food stamp recipients from from states all over the US.
As a tax payer, I have no right to know exactly what someone is buying with their stamps, but I do have a right to demand certain things not be allowed. Foodstamps were designed to help people eat to stay alive, not eat or drink soda, candy, sweets, junk food etc. Anything that does not have a certain amount of nutrition should be off bounds for food stamps. Food stamps should also not be a crutch, a way of keeping people on the welfare rolls forever. It was designed to help people in need for a short time, not 60 years. The exception would be disabled people and seniors.
33% of places that accept food stamps are gas stations folks.
Some states allow food stamps to be used in fast food restaurants.
EBT cards from all over the US are being used in Hawaii of all places.
And this is just what the MSM has been able to piece together from the little data we do get (from states)
If you don't track and analyze your data you can't stand there and say there's NO corruption or fraud.

Yes I see it all the time at gas stations. Morbidly obese women buying a bag full of junk food and swiping their food stamps card to pay for it.
That's a lie! According to liberals, NO ONE eats high on the hog if they receive food stamps! Remember....they're reduced to eating all those high fat/high sodium/high cholestoral processed foods that Big Ag is making them eat!
No way, no how is it possible for steaks and lobster to be on the menu when you're poor!
Liberals are willfully ignorant. The receipt you showed is proof that we're getting ripped off on a daily basis. But to hear them tell it, there's no such thing occuring. Disgusting.
