I have never seen anyone use an EBT card. I am minimally a cart away from the person in line in front of me. How exactly does one know what sort of card people are using? People don't wave their cards, do they? Does an EBT make a unique sound ( taxpayer screams, for instance) when its used?
The machines are right there in plain view. It's very easy to identify the brown card used in my state. I don't know what cards look like in other states, but here, it's easily identified. Unless someone is deliberately trying to hide it, if you look at the machine when they're using it, it's obvious.

And THESE are the people that liberals and the stupid ill informed want us spending billions on for welfare, etc, etc. And you wonder why some of us get fed up with government "assistance" which is paid for by mostly hard working Americans.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. Im too the point where government should get out of the looking out for the poor business and let it be dealt with by charities. I wonder how many liberals wouldnt give a dime, but would whine about tax payers not being forced to pay for these scum bags anymore.

9 out of 10 times the person using that card sure as hell doesn't look like they should be either. It's never some decrpid old lady buying milk like the Liberals want you to believe.

Actually, you can have an overpayment on EBT or a fraud, in which case, the adult is sanctioned, and deniedbbenefits until the fraud or overpayment is taken off.

So, two children, one adult, adult taken off, benefits just for kids.

Some of these people (most) need some help. In theory they get back on their feet and get back in the work force. There will always be people that take take take. For you to assume liberalism is at fault says nothing for your ability to look at things in a non partisan way. Do you assume no conservatives use government assistance?

Your right Tilt11, liberals wonder why people are disgusted and fed up with government and these types. Boy these people say they can't when it comes to signing a one page voter ID form but sure as hell find the fire under their butt when there is a freebie to be had.
