Do you really think that is legal or even ethical?!

To try to use food stamps to get on your feet?

are you really asking me this?

If you own a restaurant, you at least maybe have a shot of saving the taxpayers money if you can get it off the ground

And he can eat the "older" food leftover, even from the few customers plates which are left.

He doesn't need to buy the food directly for himself, that's unwise in this circumstance imho



Food stamps is suppose to be temporary as best it can be. I'd not want him to buy food for himself, there is probably enough leftover

No, because certain financially well off people, who are not happy in their lives, want to make sure that everybody else is as miserable as they are.

If I don't got a family to go home to, then you are not going either.

I'm from Tulsa Oklahoma even if I have lived in California for 35 years , and have been to both Kansas City Missouri and St. Louis and every city in TexA Fifty Five ( with the exception of Austin). I have not been to Kansas City Kansas but Wichita Kansas I know like the back of my hand.

I actually know a lady who started a vegetable garden using food stamps to buy the seeds/plants.

She sells vegetables now at the Farmers Markets every week. It helped her get on her feet.

So yeah, good for her. Better than her working a minimum wage job and continuing on it

cause most of the food stamp recipients ARE WORKING.

Just not making enough $$ to survive. So in general, they aren't lazy

So sure, however you can use the program to save the taxpayers money and to get on your own two feet, go for it.
That's the goal, in fact!

You are coming across as very naïve about FS fraud. Do a little research and get back on the thread.

I would bet money that the EBT card was not even his. You are still operating under the assumption that it is.

To make up rules as you go along saying they have no right to a vacation is insanity

That vacation may clear their head while in a dire circumstance under duress.

As we know, most food stamp recipents work so they also deserve a vacation away

just as we do because we work also.

So glad to see my tax dollars make a profit for others, but don't know whether the marijuana growers will accept them.

The gall of some people. How about this horror story - I was in line at Whole Foods behind a woman who was having a conversation with a cashier about how hard it is to get by these days, and then paid for over 350$ in groceries with a Lone Star Card, which is basiclly the same as food stamps, then took her groceries and got in an expensive looking cream colored Cadillac Escalade and drove off like she owned the place. Liberals. Have they no shame?.

Where are the Fox News cameras when we need them?

I am one of the few who has done the research

It's an excellent program with VERY LITTLE fraud. In fact, it's incredible how little fraud is truly involved compared to most of the other welfare programs. This is the GEM of the welfare programs, it's a wonderful lifeline.

Do your research. go to the USDA.gov website YOURSELF and it will give you this information. Spreading mis-info is not cool

I'm all for it.

No the federal government had " Work Programs " during the 1930's for the unemployed and poor.
