This is in fact what I witnessed there yesterday. A couple had a 60" TV, and then paid for their "groceries" with their "card".
Total bunk.

You guys always have perfect stories for these threads. We're supposed to believe that you noticed someone paying for their food with food stamps after buying a 60 inch TV?

Please. You guys need better stories.

And it already is growing.
Do you mean that the government is extending UI payments, starting wars, funding poor education, buying risky private equity, and supplying arms to other nations?

The government spends far and away more than they could ever tax to pay for it.

Given the history of your posts (like this one), we've come to learn that you post things that are made up out of thin air and act as if they are the facts.
You're another that needs to read the ToS.

Nice to know your stalking me, you may learn something!

Many of us have seen it happen. It may not be the norm but it's certainly wearing blinders to claim it doesn't happen.

I'll also make the statement that if you are buying a 60 inch tv, chances are you aren't buying groceries.

It's not stalking when I remember a thread that I previously participated in.

I did learn something. It's that you have a record of posting false information as facts. It's well documented in that other thread... and now in this thread. We call that a pattern or repeat offender.

Yep. And with uninformed voters they will continue to do so.
