From snopes.com forum: Food stamp receipt

[NHSparky]

Why would I defend it?

None of that information was available in the OP, so no reason to join the mob at that time. Now, yes, the guy appears to be guilty and will face prosecution.

I would still be more concerned about corporate welfare and bailouts than some clown flipping a few food stamps, though.

Oh goody--I'm gonna love this.

Define, "corporate welfare" if you please.

Eupher...truer words....Small money fraud adds up pretty quickly...maybe the welfare system needs to be asking for random reciepts or better yet, design a software that can pull ebt card numbers and can look up reciepts. Based on the reciept information, ebt cards can be declined. People will be notified that this will be happening...
It's a sad situation I realize, but it hurts other people who really need it!!

I'll go one further, noobs.  Show me in the budget where there's a line item for "corporate welfare."

Now show me entitlement spending such as Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, food stamps, federal welfare subsidies.  Repeat for the state level.

Don't hold your breath for an intelligent reply. Can you say "deflect with B.S.?"
