For those who say food stamp benefits are small...
From a Texas television station:
Quote:
A gas station clerk, who wants to conceal his identity over fears about losing his job, is fed up.
"Bob" as we're calling him rings up a customer paying with a Lone Star card.
"There are times I see customers come in and they've got thousands," Bob said.
The numbers he said, just don't add up.
The balance was more than $7,000 in tax payer funds.
"You would think that it would red flag in the system," Bob said.
Bob claims he got short changed when trying to report it.
He claims the local SNAP office told him they couldn't doing anything about it.

Family of 4 gets $700 per month. More kids more money. Bet that there are more kids being claimed than actually exist

Sorry, I'll stop trolling. I realize these stories are like porn for conservatives. Please continue. This one is probably more erotic for you guys than the average "person using EBT had an iPhone 5" post.

This article from Action 4 News bases it's exposure of SNAP over payments, abuses, etc. from an interview of a convience store clerk named "Bob" ?
Quote:

"But they're driving Mercedes," Bob said.

I think that's a program we need to look hard at. While there are plenty of people who need and deserve the assistance, there are obviously people who don't.
