Good thing we're not adopting one. Also, no Spanish on those cards

Wow, imagine that, food shortages in a country setting the price of food below the price of manufacture.

Its not even socialism at that point, its just people being dumb.

I think all these activist stars should fly over to Nigeria and plead with the Boko Haram to free those girls.

Just what do they think their EBT cards amount to? Strange how they can be so removed from reality while at the same time decrying another society by using the "S" word to describe them.

This from a country where over 50% of their population is getting some type of government assistance to feed themselves. Nothing even remotely socialist about that I guess.

The US also had ration cards during the war. What's with these WW2 era Hungarian ration cards?
