To lazy to work? Go die already! End the food stamp program today!
And then tries to hide the card from those behind her in line out of embarrassment.

Indeed-back in the 90's i worked as a checker at Albertsons in a lower-middle class neighborhood. And the abuse was staggering. Porterhouse steaks, King crab legs, Oreos, pop tarts, donuts, cake, and grape crush paid with EBT, and then there was the 2nd cart, filled with malt liquor, rolling papers and other luxuries like cartons of cigarettes and phone cards paid for by a wad of 100 dollar bills.

People living the high life on public assistance is Republican nonsense. The guys I know collecting disability are lucky to get $700 a month. Could you imagine trying to live on that when the average rent is $1000 a month?

Section 8 is notoriously difficult to obtain in many states. There are often years-long waiting lists.

Duly noted and done. And I suggest you grow a conscience and some decency, but we both know that's not gonna happen. Gotta keep those rich people getting even richer!
You are aware that the federal government is only 544 people? Let family, friends, charities and states provide welfare. The federal governments job is national issues.

Eliminate all social program fraud including assistance to illegal aliens and watch the compassion return.
