LMAO!!! All you gotta do is stand in line at Wally World one afternoon and just see what is bought with food stamps and EBT cards!! Talk about FRAUD!!

One of the factors determining the amount of SNAP benefits one receives is what is known as the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) which is set, not by Congress, by by Agriculture Department bureaucrats in the Food and Nutrition Service. The SUA is a state by state sum derived on the basis of those state’s costs or heating and cooling. Despite the fact that a cold winter had been predicted, and despite the fact that heating costs had not fallen, the states saw FNS cut SUAs twice in the past year, the first time before last year’s election. obama cut people’s SNAP benefits and, my gosh, to my great surprise was not blamed for it, the blame being laid on the GOP House and President Bush.

Personally, I think that the food stamp program should be limited to certain items just like the WIC program. I see people with food stamps or EBT cards purchase things that fall into the luxury food or the zero nutritional value category all the time. I’m sure that if they were required to purchase less convenience foods and more natural basic foods, it would effect the obesity rate dramatically.

Stop allowing cases of drinking water, sugar water drinks, sushi, store bought cakes and pies, etc.(bake your own!!) NO GARBAGE FOOD. You want garbage? spend your own money and NOT FROM THE DEBIT CARD either. Control this type of spending and you would cut obesity and safe LOTS OF MONEY. NO money back from card either….that is spent on cigs, liquor and gambling!! Control what can be bought with the food and debit cards!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always use credit cards (earn points and pay off every month) why can’t those with the government cards use them and not cash!! ABUSE IS RAMPANT!!!!!!!!!!
