Can you buy tattoos, smart phones and jewelry with food stamps?

WE TRIED TO OUTLAW THIS IN MASSACHUSETTS AND THE BILL FAILED.

BUT, SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO A COUPLE OF MY POINTS:

THIS IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE AND THE KIND OF FRAUD THAT HURTS PEOPLE WHO NEED THE HELP.

THE CAR COULD BE LEASED OR SOMEONE ELSES

THE JEWELRY NICE DRESS THING IS PSYCHOLOGY (DRESSING UP TO HIDE YOUR LOWER CLASS)

HAND BAGS ARE PROBABLY KNOCKOFFS ($10 AT FLEA MRKT) AND AGAIN PSYCHOLOGY

THIS IS WHAT I SAY, DO NOT CUT PROGRAMS FORCE THE SNAP AND TANF WORKERS TO DO THEIR JOB AND FIND FRAUD AND WASTE.

WE MAKE THESE PROGRAMS WITH GOOD REASON THEN MANAGE THEM BAD.

WTF? SUB OUT THE SNAP AND TANF TO BIDDERS

WHEN A CORP HEARS THAT THEIR ONLY PROFIT IS THE WASTE AND FRAUD THEY FIND IN A 300 BILLION DOLLAR ENTITLEMENT, WATCH HOW FAST THIS STOPS.

TELL BAIN, HALIBURTON, OR SEARS THER IS 60 BILLION TO BE MADE--END OF FRAUD.

You can buy a tattoo at the supermarket? Jewelry and sneakers?

You shop at some really great places.

Food stamps are only for food, if they are used for other purposes the person accepting them are guilty of fraud too, and subject to arrest.

Which makes it pretty easy to see that no supermarket manager selling expensive sneakers or tattoos is going to want to get arrested for that.

No, and you did not personally witness this happening.

EBT cards are ONLY FOR FOOD.

EBT carriers cannot even buy toilet paper with them.

The University of Maryland recently released the results of their latest research that showed that "Fox viewers are the most misinformed in the country."

Most EBT cards don't allow you to use them like cash. They swipe the card and it only subtracts the amount for food, this potion of the purchase is usually non-taxable also. If they are purchasing anything that isn't considered food, they have to pay for it another way and pay the tax on it.

It will never end because the government makes it too easy for the people that don't need it and too hard for the people that do, to qualify for this particular benefit.

This is not an insurmountable problem. If you use your food stamps to buy enough chocolate, your lady should adequately moisten. Everyone here knows it's crushed glass. Nothing says "furnish me with batter" like crushed glass.

If you see this happening, report the people or you are just as guilty as they are. For the few that cheat and take advantage of this program, there are many more families that can't surviv without them.

A few people take advantage of the system but ebt cards are a lifeline for most that receive.

And people get all mad when politicians say we should reduce welfare. That **** need to stop. I refuse to pay for others to be lazy.
