Food stamps/EBT Cards review: Food stamps 228

I completely agree with Drekk454. I am a college student in NY State and am applying for Food Stamps benefits because my parents can't afford to continue buying groceries for me, and the school I'm at doesn't have enough work study jobs for me to be able to get one. I also can't afford to pay my car insurance, so I have no way of getting to work if I had a job, and the only money I really get is if/when I receive financial aid refunds from school. I am, however, writing a report for my English class about people who abuse the EBT system. I don't necessarily believe that it's people of a certain minority or economic class that do it, but I am confident in the fact that there are a good amount of people who do indeed live off government funding and abuse the system. What makes me the angriest is when people either have food stamps and use them to buy junk food, or use what money they actually have to buy beer, cigarettes, etc.

EAT A DICK FRANKIE, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME, When did this become personal anyway? When you come out of nowhere insulting me FIRST instead of sticking to the issue at hand you [censor]ing upper class hillbilly, foodstamps are for ANYONE in need, go to the housing projects somewhere in BALTIMORE (WHERE YOU SAY YOU ARE) and TALK ALL THAT [censor] there, see if you come out alive, LOL@this upper class keyboard warrior from nice little Owings Mills MD...
All that anger Frankie, those long angry paragraphs..what flavor hatorade have you been drinking in between making up these HATEFUL and incorrect comments? don't your stubby fat little red fingers hurt from all the hard pounding to the keyboard?
Like I said previously, go blow up something, [censor] your kids, you know all that [censor] sick white people do
you AIDS infested test tube baby
Lilly

People complaining about EBT benefits, ridiculous. Trust me when I say that those few dollars don't amount to anything really. If people decide to splurge and buy shrimp and lobster, so be it. By the end of the month, there will be nothing left, so why spend time complaining on what someone else is doing. Your tax dollars are not doing THAT much. Just pray that you never need assistance. For the record, there are people who work AND pay taxes and receive benefits because their household income is not sufficient to live on.

I bet now that I spelled "assumes" meaning assumed, I'm surely a pig [censored] welfare recieving slut, LOL Try again Frankie
Go blow up something or continue to do butt spins on gay men's dicks, you angry little [censor]
Lilly

"To Lorridlilly, You piece of [censor]. You are the proverbial "WELFARE [censored] SLUT [censor] PIG",
i bet that made you feel very important and better to assume what race I am, that was a good one, so good that I came in my panties after reading it, you are such a big man, an internet gangster who won't dare say this to a person's face
I NEVER RECIEVED FOOD STAMPS IN MY LIFE...but of course you assumes otherwise
Frank, go do butt pins on a gay man's dick, get AIDS, then you are entitled to all the stamps you can get
because all of your money will go into buying pills to stay alive you [censor]ing uniformed [censor]
wanna play with me, let's play baby you redneck, winston smoking [censor] hanging, chicken [censor]er
*throws the ball back to Frank*

i agree with you, i just had one too many when i posted the above comment
I know more white folks than black who get assistance...and they do a pretty damn good job hiding their EBT cards
This should not be about race, it is about the ignorant [censor]face (simplicity89) who made the "black couple comment", with her whole page racist rant on EBT and blacks and crablegs
what an uninformed redneck
instead of evesdropping and studying black folks and their nutitional habits why don't you go to a library or look up what kind of people qualify for stamps, do your research
but if you are an inbread cousin [censor]er I guess that's not possible

wow.iwas just bored with tv and decided to read some of this complaint [censor].i had no idea people were so passionate about food stamps.i have not read all this cause i do not have that much energy right now but i have not read were a particular race was mentioned.so, why do you call a person who wants our tax dollars spent more wisely, or for every one to be productive, or for people to eat healthier, or for people to get there priority straight, or are just pissed of because people take hand outs for food when there cloths, cars, jewelry, cds, tv, videogames, guns, furniture, houses, smokes, chews, beers, wine, and lets not forget cell phone is more expensive than the person who does not get food stamps and speaks their opinion, a racist?that is saying that mostly minorities get the stamps.why is it that if you do not agree with a minority then you are a racist.peopleof all races need to wake up.do not be mad at the people who take advantage of a government program cause you will to if you can.be mad at your elected officials who keep handing it out to get a vote.its just away to buy a vote and look like a saint.they pit the so called ritch against the so called poor.has anyone ever got a pay check from a broke person or a person who did not own a buisness.all those horrible rich people are getting fed up as we write and moving their jobs to places were peopl show up for work on time, do not [censor], talk on cell phones, and steel.were there are no unions wich by the way thats just another organization that dont give a [censor] about the poor man.your just income to them.the government wants to keep taking care of you cause you can vote them back in.think about it, do you know any senator personally?do you think they give a [censor] about you?THESE PROGRAMS HANDICAP YOU THEY DONT HELP YOU.WAKE UP, WAKE UP.VOTE AND REALIZE WHAT IS REALY GOOD FOR YOU AND WHAT IS NOT

to the lady (simplicity89) who was mad at the couple for buying crab legs...get a [censor]ing life, it was a food item?well within guidlines
how do you know if they haven't alreadypurchased other foods and this was a treat after having what they needed? they could have said that [censor] to PISS YOUR REDNECK [censor] OFF...
why don't you go and gather a group in your town, make upo some white hoods and hang some EBT folks who buy [censor] like that with their card
[censor]ing jealous-assed redneck

ok ok we all need to calm down. first of all it is nobodys business what people buy with thier food stamps. if people want to buy oreos for thier kids then so what. the people who can afford to buy thier own groceries buy junk food for thier kids. also people on ebt have also paid taxes at some point in thier life because you can obly be on welfare for 2 years unless you are disabled. there isa reason it is called transitional assistance. it is a transition period for people who need help. all the people who are judging are just asking for bad karma. just wait until you need it because unless you have a really good job that you will have a big fat 401 k when you retire then you will be one of the people who will need foodstamps along with your social security to survive. and simplicity89 you are totally a racist. you dont make comments like that if your not. and its spelled government not govmints. because i know that since you claim your not racist then you must not have know how to spell government. right? you werent trying to talk like a black person right? i hope somebody knows it was you who wrote that and i hope some big huge "[censor]s" come and beat the s@#$ out of you. people need help sometimes so F#@$ YOU! and to all the people who were offended by these ignorant low class hill billys just remember that bthey hate themselves and thier miserable lives and thats why they make other people feel like crap. i myself do not get welfare but i do know what its like to need hepl adn not everyone abnuses them. i also dont thinkl its anywhere near 70 -80 %. maybe like 35% tops. at least not in massachusettes.

I'm on the stamps and all I bye is junk food. I can't cook very well and I eat junk food. So what am I suppose to bye food that I don't like? If I'm hungry I grab a couple of snack cakes or a PBJ sandwich and a glass of milk and I'm happy because that's what I like! No I'm far from over weight if that crossed your mind. People are so quick to judge others it's sad you don't know what these peoples situations are. My cousin is diabetic and he has to have some junk food laying around in case he has a low blood sugars. People quit being so petty And stop sweating the small stuff! We can't even live off the land anymore! You need a license to go fishing and hunting And it's got to be in season to kill a turkey or deer.So there is something to get pissed about. If it's for food and not sport anyone should be able to feed themselves.The law shouldn't even have a say over food!

stealth pilot you are a horrible human and a waste of my air.

I am currently on Food Stamps because it helps my family out. I only get 222 a month in stamps. I am a single parent that lost her job due to a fact of an injury that has turned into something more complicated than a torn minuscule. Talking now of knee replacement. I can't walk with out a limp, knee locks and I fall. It is hard living off 353 a month in child support and your expenses are 349 a month. And if something breaks down oh well got to figure out where I can come up with the money to pay that. I am just thankful for the food stamps that I do get otherwise my daughter and I would be very hungry since 4 dollars does not cover much food.

Dawinette,

I agree with you, if you cannot afford to provide for your kids, than you have no business buying alcohol and smokes. First off, smoking is a nasty, makes you look old, causes risks to the people around you, and will kill you in a horrible way. I watched my grandmother die of lung cancer that spread throughout her body, she died a horribly painful death. It is a selfish habit, and shouldn't be supported on the governments dime. When I see people smoking, it makes me think of them as whatever trash their ethic is. If you have children, how can you justify shortening your life, and causing your kids asthma, low birth weight, never ending URIs, and spending money that should be going to feed/cloth your children? I had this trashy friend who used her child support to support her filthy habit. The money that should be going to support her kid, were going to supply her pain med and smoking problem. That is just selfish and trashy. She wasn't working, and her husband worked two jobs to support her fat [censor], his daughters, and her son. While she spent her day high on pain meds, smoking her fat [censor] into oblivion. She couldn't even get off her fat [censor] to clean the house. She had her children do it for her... She made dinner, and that was about it... Poor man didn't even get sex. In end she is going to die before her son has children of his own. She will miss watching her grandchildren grow up, and in about ten years, she will develop lung cancer, or her kidneys will give out because of her never growing pain med addiction. If welfare moms are doing the same, the government is also flipping the bill for their nasty habits in medi-kaid. Their children health issues, their health issues because of drugs and smoking. So, it is our business if someone is choosing to live their lives that way, because we are flipping the bill for their addiction, and the complications with come from abusing this.

Wow..there are a lot of intelligent and not-so-intelligent comments on this. I am a 26 year old graduate, didn't have mommy and daddy pay for college. I have worked 2 to 3 jobs to put myself through college. I did a 3 month UNPAID internship of 50+ hours a week. As of today I have made $1800 working as an Assistant Camp Director and they laid me off due to my disease (systematic lupus). I was diagnosed in April of this year. My degree is Recreation Parks and Lesure Management, so in all I am an Outdoor Educator. If you do not already know this systematic lupus is an autoimmune disease that is triggered by the sun. Ironic isn't it. But in the aspect of this conversation yes I receive food assistance. 200 a month. I receive no medical support because I have to have 2 or more organs failing. I am not really sure why not...I am still looking for a beneficial job. But who is going to hire a "disabled" person...even though I do not consider myself as one. I do odd jobs, cleaning, cooking, babysitting. That's what you do while looking for a job. Key words LOOKING this means getting out there, applications in hand, talking to people hitting the pavement literally and figuratively. Sell something because it is only stuff. I use coupons I only buy things that I need. If I want something sweet...make it from scratch, it isn't very hard. I have got two hands, two legs, a brain and a mouth; sometimes even good health ;) but I keep moving on.

Wow, what happen to love thy neighbor? If most of you people are so concerned on the way people spend there government money, that is just crazy. If people who say if you will are less fortunate to buy smokes and junk food just because they are poor and you feel it is comming out of your pocket. Big deal! They have every right to buy the same [censor] that you do! The way the economy is today there is so many people needing assistance like you wouldn"t believe! Alot of lay offs and people with families losing there homes. If my tax dollars lets them be able to go into a store and buy junk food or smokes even alcohol foe that matter. They have every freaking right. You want to know why? Because this is America! People have forgotten about the greater good and to help mankind. That's all I have to say about that!

thats awsome, hi santa

I feel that if people do anything that isn't to another persons liking there's always something to complain about. I feel as like this if the government don't want people to use the EBT Card in certain ways then change and implement new ones. Everyone is entitle to their our reason for having one and using it the way they please. Yes I pay taxes and I'm very wealthy, however my heart goes out to them because it has to be an hard to live off of a set amount and not be able to have what "the people who work hard has".

Like I would give you any of my information. Yeah right, Get real, and actually i have never been to jail but put alot of people there like you. have a great day

I am an American citizen who currently is receiving food stamps. However, I have seen people who work, live with their parents, get help with their kids, and receive much more than I qualify for. When my kids were younger, I worked two jobs to stay off of public assistance. I was ashamed to receive any help because of prejudices by many people. It is true that some people do abuse the assistance, make a career of working the system- what is worse is that they get away with it and it makes me sick! I am 40 years old, female, a vet, and unemployed. Because of my struggles of working at least two jobs simultaneously and depending on public transportation, I now have physical ailments that make even walking a painful experience. It is people like me that get caught in the system but struggle to get out! I do not qualify for any other help, not even such programs like through "Work Source". It is people like them that pass it on to the future generation and make it hard for those of us who really need help. This is not a sob story, just a reality check... it is hard not to be judgmental, but even I have an attitude problem when I see people go through the check out line with a bunch of stuff they couldn't ever afford without help. I can't even afford a full dinner meal more than twice a week. When I was working, I qualified for NO help AT ALL. That is why you do see me buying what I would consider junk just to fill the bellies of my three high school children. Even when I pay cash, it is the same scenario.

si is not slang. it's spanish

angelxoxo you sure make a lot of spelling errors for an attorney. I have many friends who are lawyers and their sentence structure is way above your level. what bar did you pass and what's your id?

Its called slang, get over it. have a great day.

ExpediteHater i think i will try and figure out what state and county you work for, becuase im pretty sure it si illegal for you to do what u just done. No matter if he was wrong or not, you are to for putting his business on the internet, and im a lawyer also so i will def be in contact with you. thanks

my tax money this my tax money that, shut the [censor] up for real, your tax money you will get back the next year, so actually no one is using YOUR tax money, you guys that are pissed bc u dont have ebt and cant get it, dont be mad at people that do have it, mind your own., That is what is wrong with people today, all you idiots, pass judgement on others with out knowing anything. all this does is make people laugh at you. And also it means you are a low life for passing judgement, all of you make me sick.

I do agree that most people try to abuse the system and can easily be tracked. I just report it every time and maybe it will get cut off because I do have a good stable job but without health benefits. So they took me off my benefits and I can keep my health care(Medi Care) until I do find a FULL TIME job with the benefits coming after the trial period. But the only problem is that you have to re apply again if you do eventually lose your job. And at the end with the EBT Cash + Food Stamps. I barely got by. So far, everything is doing okay, and all I know is that, I will try to get as much assistance if I do lose my job but only as a back up option if really needed.

I am a food benefits caseworker and I can definitely see both sides here. Unfortunately, I don't think it's any secret that the SNAP program is abused frequently. I am dealing with a guy right now that insists that the only two people in his household are him and his daughter and that his daughter's mother takes care of both of them (pays bills/rent/buys necessities) but does not live in the same house with him. This guy has turned in fake lease after fake lease and forged so many documents it's sickening, all to get about $367 a month in food benefits. I did some research online and found that, low and behold, he and his daughter's mother do in fact live together (thank you FaceBook) and the reason that he didn't want me to know that is because she works at a hospital making very good money. They also just bought a house together and I found out about that through public records online as well. Just a reminder to anyone that thinks they can cheat the system...just about ANYTHING can be looked up online so be sure to cover your tracks WELL especially if you are trying to lie about your residency or income when you apply for food benefits. Bear in mind, that was just ONE example of MANY examples that I could give about complete and total liars who come into my office on a daily basis and try to serve up a bunch of BS to score some government assistance. I also see a ton of people that really do need the help and those are the people that I bend over backwards to help out. The others, well let's just say I bend over backwards to bust them and make sure a claim is filed so their [censor] have to pay back every cent they stole by abusing the food benefits program.

frank294 you are an idiot who thinks they have something special to say. Deflate your ego.

I would also like to add that when I was using it, I felt really embarrassed especially if there was a huge line at safeway or lucky's. I try to swipe it as fast as possible to avoid people from seeing it. So when I see people actually complaining about this, they have to turn around and see how they would feel because now when I see people using it, I just hope they can use it wisely though because it is really not that much if they do qualify, I just hope those homeless people at least try to sign up for it though instead of pan handling.

I hope people are not complaining about the EBT Cards because its completely BULL [censor], I was a former user and only used it for food and always reported my earnings so WHY do people even complain about this. It is really hard to get okay, because it will take at least 1 month to do it like the insurance I use to have Medi-Care which took me about 1 year. I just don't know why people like the Homeless are even trying to sign up instead of pan handling because this method is a great method to start a new life. I used it before and it paid for some of my groceries and was really blessed that I got it or I would be hungry and maybe even dead. I am still on Medi-Care because I don't have a FULL TIME job, I am earning my own cash and paying for my own food. So the EBT program is good but does take very committment to get it. So anyone complaing about this must be a RICH S.O.B. because those are the ones really stealing money by avoiding taxes and committing Tax Fraud.

@SANCHERO I like you have also paid taxes since I was a teen, my husband still works his [censor] off everyday of the week and like you I also decided to go back to school because with my two children I was paying my entire check to daycare. I am finishing college so I can once agaon work and not need help and pay my taxes again. WATCH OUT Dawniette will tell you that you are horrible and need to get a job and not go to school. If you have children she will also tell you that your children should be taken away from you as you are a "welfare [censored]" who does not deserve children. Props to you for bettering yourself in this [censor] economy. If you need help to get by while doing so, then so be it. And personally I dont care what you use your EBT for (be it your pool or what not) that is your choice.

SHACHERO: I can't agree with you more either. People dont realize that it actually is embarrassing to use EBT at the register, most cashiers are as ignorant and arrogant as a few people on this topic. Why can't we people on EBT be equals, be normal? I'm glad I have EBT because almost all people I have met that dont get EBT are like the [censor]s on here. It is true, stupid people dont know they are stupid.

Does anyone realize how expensive good nutritional foods are? Lean hamburger and turkey burger is too expensive. Most people, like myself, have food stamps, and that's all the money they can spend on food. Yes, I work, I'm a registered CNA, I work my but off, support my family of 4 and dont have extra money to buy good quality food to last the month. All I get is what they put on the card, $268, that's it. Try feeding 2 growing boys on that for a month, plus yourself and your husband! Around here the economy is so bad, the food, gas, and other prices keep going up, the wages stay the same. You have to travel so far for work that by the end of a 9 hour shift, you only made $15 dollars that day because the rest goes into the tank. Try being unspoiled and struggling to make it just "one more month". Good luck to you, because I'm sure without mommy and daddy's money you wouldn't be who you are. THANK YOU KATICAKE, YOU SAID EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL.

@ fdhgfj: do YOU accept EBT? :-P

i believe that anyone who has and is capable of contributing (presently or in the past)to the system has the right to buy whatever the [censor] kind of FOOD they CHOOSE to buy w. THEIR EBT card. I have worked since i was 16 (now 33) and decided, due to the current state this economy is in, to return to school full-time to acquire my engineering degree...and guess what? I GET FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICAL! anyone who doesn't like the fact that I get it can kick rocks, along with the proper kissing of my [censor]. I live in a house I pay for, have a yard w. a pool in it...and I cook out on my grill under my personally built 12X14 ft pergola, with food i purchase with MY (17 year) tax paid EBT card... and i neither feel embarrassed nor shame when i use it. in fact, some of the BAKING SODA i buy WITH MY EBT card goes into my pool. I buy the same foods I bought when I did not have the EBT card benefit. I don't like to see people abuse anything, but perception has a lot to do with everything. There have been times where I have looked at my check for a week and the taxes for that week totalled well over $500, so if i CHOOSE to sit beside my CLEAR EBT BOUGHT BAKING SODA SPRINKLED pool, drinking NAME BRAND lemonade that I bought with EBT ( and with or without a manufacturers coupon, YES I CLIP), IT'S MY CHOICE AND BUSINESS. unfortunately, the thing that pisses me off is that cashiers (with their mundane titles and occupations) feel the need to express disdain for people who contribute to THEIR JOB AVAILABILITY. WHAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ARE THOSE THAT DO NOT, HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT WORK, YET CONTINUE TO HAVE CHILDREN THEY CANNOT AFFORD(i mean they're expensive, who can really afford them?) AND SHOW UP LOOKING THE PART AT THE GROCERY STORE WITH THE 'BOYFRIEND' PUSHING HIS OWN CART OR HAVING 'HIS' GROCERIES BAGGED SEPARATELY ..THAT'S DISGUSTING AND JUST PLAIN LOW. I HAVE STOOD BEHIND THESE PEOPLE AND HAVE HAD TO MOVE AWAY TO ANOTHER LINE TO AVOID EXPRESSING THE TRUTH TO THEM...because it's really NONE of my business. As for the 'crab people' that plan to throw it away, they're stupid and don't deserve anything, yet they are the ones that ALWAYS qualify for aid...because that mentality alone is a depiction of their environment..SO IGNORE THEM...STUPID PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THEY'RE STUPID.

ALSO, I now purchase ALL of my cooking WINE, $18-25 can extra virgin olive oil(which lasts up to 1 yr), with EBT and will continue to as long as it is the method of which i purchase MY groceries...like i said, I buy everything I bought before the benefits and that includes the ingredients for gourmet meals, such as chicken in white WINE sauce, romaine and french baguette; dill lemon chicken, seafood bisque, etc... I DON''T DRINK IT...COOKING SHERRY'S TOO SALTY AND IS ONLY GOOD FOR COOKING, YOUR *AHEM* "FRIEND" IS A [censor] OR PROBABLY A SALT JUNKY, NOT A DRUNK.

Just because your friend gets drunk on cooking sherry, doesn't mean everyone buying it does.
Maybe, just MAYBE the person using the EBT card is actually COOKING with it.
It's a sad, sad world when the working person is envious of a food stamp recipient!

Debbie,
If your friends that are abusing the welfare system bothers you, than turn them in for welfare fraud... Especially that [censor] that is using children he isn't raising! I get tired of people complaining about certain individuals. Turn their butts in, than they will go to jail, or no longer retrieve benefits! If more people who know friends and family that were abusing the welfare system turned their lying [censor] in, not so many people would get away with it. Why complain, if you as an individual aren't doing your part to make sure that the system isn't being abused?! In the least, that is three people not getting benefits that they shouldn't be!

debbie madueno DO NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS unless you want to be ridiculed and hated

I AGREE IF PEOPLE NEED FOOD STAMPS I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THE DES OFFICE SEEMS LIKE THEY GIVE THE CARD OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN NEED IT. I HAVE A ROOMATE HERE WHO HAS BEEN ON FOOD STAMPS AT LEAST 16 YEARS AT FIRST HE HAD HIS KIDS CAUSE HE WIFE DIDNT WANT THEM, SO HE WAS ALSO GETTING MONEY FOR THEM. I CANT BELIEVE THEY NEVER WENT AFTER HER TO PAY BACK SINCE HE HAD THE KIDS, WELL THE KIDS R OVER 21 NOW HE STILL GETS STAMPS AND MEDICAL MONEY HAS STOPPED. THEY HAVE NEVER SAID TO HIM TO LOOK FOR A JOB HE IS NOT SICK OR HURT, THE EASY WAY FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE TO WORK HE GOT ALL THIS MONEY FROM THE LIGHT RAIL BUT THAT WAS OK WITH THEM. IT IS JUST CERTAIN PEOPLE THEY HELP I HAVE NO AGREEMENTS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO NEED IT BUT HE IS ABLE TO WORK AND 16 YEARS OF FOOD AND MEDICAL FOR FREE. MY BROTHER WHO IS ON SSI TRIED TO APPLY AND THEY GAVE HIM 10.00 IN FOOD STAMPS SEE HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, THEY GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO DONT NEED IT AND THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THEY TURN THEM DOWN. SOMETIMES I THINK THIS WHOLE THING IS A SCAM. IF THEY LIKE YOU THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE EBT CARD AND DONT HAVE TO WORK JUST KICK BACK AND THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO STRUGGLE DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT TO ME. BUT THAT IS THE SYSTEM I PAY TAXES FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE ADVANAGE OF THE SYSTEM I KNOW ANOTHER PERSON WHO SEPARTED FROM HIS WIFE APPLIED FOR STAMPS AND GOT THEM AND HE PUT THE KIDS DOWN AND HE DOES NOT HAVE THE KIDS AND DOES NOT HELP OUT WITH THEM, I SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT AND THE PEOPLE WHO DONT SHOULD GET A JOB. THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. GROWN MEN SHOULD BE OUT THERE WORKING INSTEAD OF COLLECTING FROM DES. FOR THE REST OF THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THEY DESERVE TO GET IT, THIS ROOMATE I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHAT EVER HE DOESNT USE HE GIVES THE REST TO HIS DAUGHTER WHO DOESNT NEED IT. AND DES SHOULD IT WAS OK AS LONG AS THEY HAD THE PIN NUMBER AND THE CARD THEY COULD USE THE EBT CARD. WHAT KIND OF [censor] IS THAT ITS FOR THE PERSON WHO NEEDS IT BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME. I REALLY THOUGHT IF YOU REALLY NEEDED FOOD YOU WOULDNT BE GIVING IT AWAY TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND ITS LEGAL TO DO THE SYSTEM IS SCREWED UP. THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT FOOD STAMPS AND THE MEDICAL WHEN THEY GET THERE PILLS THEY SELL THEM IT JUST MAKES ME SO ANGRY I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED AND THESE LAZY PEOPLE DEPEND ON DES AND THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT. PEOPLE WHO NEED THE EBT CRD SHOULD GET IT NOT THESE LAZY PEOPLE WHO CAN WORK.
