Thanks, that would be appreciated.



I finally made it to that town—-Eunice, Louisiana. Their sonic drive in has changed the way you pay. In the past, there was a small, green screen next to a slot for inserting your card. The screen said

“Credit Card———>”
“Debit Card———>
“EBT——————>”


That entire screen/slot has been removed and replaced by a black cover. Now, the slot is in the center, and the payment options are touch screen.

I am telling you that EBT was listed there for a while, at least a year. It just isn’t there now. It WAS there.





Besides, if they let them buy all the junk food, fried pork fat, and sodas they want, they might as well let them buy anything from anywhere,

Just wanted to let you know that I did go look so I could give you an update. Cya

I don't believe your comment is factually correct.

At face value, this seems messed up, but consider this:

If someone wants to have a hamburger, they will buy (for example) ground meat, rolls, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Vegetables are expensive and cannot be stored too long, so it can be cost prohibitive buy them.

It might actually more economical and healthier to buy a burger at fast food place!

Another thing:

A friend had a baby and she discovered her husband was a closet addict and was self-destructing. She took baby and moved to get out of the situation . She was using WIC and day care benefit. She had a very strong work ethic, but only made a little more than minimum wage. She had an opportunity to pick up some overtime and did. She went to her welfare appointment and they told her that she made too much money and she was loosing her childcare benefit.

She said this was because someone called off and she picked up extra hours. If she lost this benefit, she wouldn't be able to work at all because she had no support. The case worker cut her some slack and told her NOT to work extra hours or it would be lost in the future. So an extra one-time $50 almost caused her to loose this huge benefit!

The system does not allow people to get "ahead." I am not saying luxury items, just improve their standard of living, like getting a microwave or a chair for the living room.

We need to try Milton Friedmans negative Income Tax idea.

Remeber that we are a cunsumption based economy. Cut the food stamps and a domino effect will run through the economy.

The funny thing is nobody bat's an eye at QE,Bank bailout's,etc.. The banker can get a multi million dollar bonus at the tax payer's expense but that low wage worker better not get a couple hundred in food stamps ! wink

You only live once, so get over it!

Tactics may change but the goal remains the same.

Don't know how many times I've been approached by somebody in the grocery offering to pay for MY goods with THEIR food stamps in exchange for cash.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

The whole system is flawed. It has created a group of individuals (some may say generation) who expect things to be given to them for free. The government programs which benefit the poor are beneficial, as long as they try. A program should be instituted to give something back for the benefits received. For example, go pick up trash for a day or volunteer for something. WIC is a good program as it gives limits to what can be received. It only pays for nutritional items and is not like SNAP benefits where any food item can be bought. Some people get astronomical amounts of SNAP benefits to spend on any food item. The government says they cannot place restrictions on items because it would increase the cost of the program. People have come to expect things given to them. Our majority population is taking this attitude which presents the political side. This part of society is going to vote for whoever promises the most "free stuff" causing a vicious cycle.
