[QUOTE="DirtyDawg, post: 2383722, member: 9113"] Many retail stores, especially China-Mart, are addicted to food stamps and the EBT card. [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/31/walmart-food-stamps_n_4181862.html[/url] You think they care how the money is spent?? It may have recently changed, but it's my understanding recipients can buy energy drinks (Red Bull) and bottled water with their EBT cards. I think it is limited on a state by state basis. [url]http://business.time.com/2013/11/01/5-surprising-things-you-can-buy-with-food-stamps/[/url] From the article: What SNAP can buy: Red Bull Sugary Soda Candy Mixes for alcoholic beverages Artificial sweetener America has the BEST water delivery system (city water lines) of any country in the world. Why is this being allowed? Ok, flame me..but I've witnessed extensive fraud and abuse.....recipients will buy their food and food for others in exchange for beer and cigarettes....over, and over, and over. 12 pack or 18 pack a day habit....no problem....eat junk food and sell the rest of the food stamps or exchange for beer. Tip of the iceberg from what I have witnessed.....sugary, processed crap food for the children that the program is supposed to support....leaving more money for the dead beat parents to piss away. Charity should not come from government. It should come from family and friends. Do not hold a gun to my head (pay taxes or go to prison) and force me to pay taxes to support people unwilling to better themselves and their situation. The problem is rampant, and getting worse. Oh, and these people vote for more assistance and subsidies and welfare and subsidized utilities and low income home repair and free phones and free healthcare..... [/QUOTE]
