Sweet. Now I can buy my smokes on the taxpayers dime!

I had a friend of a friend who I was familiar with enough to be Facebook friends with offer her food stamps for 50¢ on the dollar because she needed to "buy cigarettes and gas". Needless to say I screen capped and emailed it in. Pretty sure nothing happened, but I was pissed.

Can't get much closer to the truth than a friend of a friend on facebook or anonymous media.

You cant buy beer and cigarettes on EBT, or to be technical SNAP (supplemental nutritional assistance program) catchy eh? however you can buy beer and cigarettes on a EBT card on tax dollars. Different programs. Still a state welfare program.

Welfare is also available on Ebt cards, they have the option of Food or Welfare checks when they slide the card. Worked in the grocery business for a while.

Correct the program in which people can buy beer and cigs and whatever else they like is called "families first"




Ironic, huh?

Don't know whether to laugh or cry about that one.

And then bought $20 of lottery tickets in cash. More libertarian every f-ing day.....

Pooch, just a side thought. Who runs the EBT program in the great state of Tennessee?
