Damn! They can't take food stamps away. If they do, the inner-city economies will collapse. I mean, if one can't sell one's food stamps for twenty-five cents on the dollar to buy crack, what's the world coming to?

Vi, foodstamps don't work like that anymore. nowadays you get what's called an "EBT card" it's like a debit card with an allotted amount of funds. the amount is determined by many factors, your rent, dependents, income, etc. I had an EBT card when I was in college. I don't know how I would have eaten if I didn't seek public assistance. And now that I've graduated, I'm looking for a good-paying job. I'm actually looking forward to paying the taxes that help pay for welfare endeavors.

I know about the debit cards ... I was joking.

Poor Japanese students live on a diet of Ramen and rice.

You keep looking forward to paying the taxes ... I'll keep looking for loopholes and we'll be even.

haha it means good luck, and the politeness was being refrenced to whoever else is gonna call...wouldn't want your work turning into something being ignored because someone called and left a message like "420!!! BITCHESSSSS" or something like that

You got that right brother.

Your wrong,if you think the reason behind the food stamp system being changed over to debit cards has anything to do with stopping fraud your way off base,the reason they changed over was to give lazy bums dignity instead of sending them into a store with monopoly money.

And the credit cards have done nothing to stop fraud,i own rental houses & every month i get tennants who want to sell me their card for 50 cents on the dollar,and you know what,i buy them all,if i dont a party store owner will anyways.

Foodstamps are for senior citizens,single mothers who are trying to get ahead,poor working families & lazy bums.

With our socialistic, government monopolized school systems brainwashing our children, with politicians constantly offering something for nothing, we, as a people, have become a dependant class of citizen. We honestly believe we are entitled to government cheese, therefore where we were once fiercely independent, we have developed an entitlement mentality.

What ever happened to the idea of college students getting a part time job to buy food instead of relying on their fellow citizens to pay their way? Oh yeah, I forgot ... it all started with free breakfast, free lunch and free after-school snacks.

food stamps, I am proud to say, are also for students with little or no financial aid besides grants and scholarships, who work their asses off to maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA, and don't have much time left over after that to spend slaving for the man for money to eat. I certainly was not a "lazy bumb" while maintaining my GPA. Now is another story, because I cant manage to find a job, but hey, I'm having no trouble paying off my student loans, if you know what I mean
