FAFO on Food Stamps

The USDA announced they they are going to put food stamp funding on hold to twenty one states who refuse to provide the federal government with their food stamp recipient data.

The fraud they’ve already found (and it was considerable) will not compare to what they’ll find since it’s states like California, Minnesota, and New York that are withholding their information.

We already know that Minnesota has a fraud problem that Tim ‘the Retard’ Walz refuses to blame on its Somali populace.

But they seem to be rank amateurs compared to what’s going on in California.

Illinois and Michigan are on that list too.

Should be interesting to see what shakes out.

    Arrests, charges, convictions, and prison time needs to happen. But those things don’t happen over night. Once you make an arrest, the clock starts ticking on the process. We don’t want to rush the investigations and only catch the little fish. Prison time needs to be the end result for this level of theft.

    I’ve shared before where state employees were actively soliciting my sister to commit fraud. But good luck convicting the one doing the soliciting… Or whoever put that state employee up to it.

    Why not make everyone reapply annually? Change the paperwork every year so states can’t just cut and paste last years application.

    My work here is done.

    Que a corrupt judge putting another injunction on a .gov action that will save taxpayer $ and maybe, at some point put some of these thieves in jail.

    oh forgot to ad Demonrat in front of judge, although that may be redundant.

    End SNAP cards give people in need boxes of food. Beans, rice, peanut butter, and cheese really are a blessing if you really are hungry. If you are used to going to Burger King it might take a bit of getting used to ,but if you are hungry , Govt cheese beats starving.
