   Rumor has it that in the Appalachian regions, “pop” was used to launder the EBT or SNAP benefits. Someone with SNAP money would buy $100 worth of pop from one store, drive across the street to another store, and sell it for $50 cash. That store would then sell the same pop to someone else for $100 and then they’d go across the street to the original store and sell it back to them for $50 cash. On and on. Someone involved admitted that the same dozen cases of pop would cross the street 10 times or more before someone actually bought it to, you know, drink it. The stores both make money on it and the individuals now have cash to go buy drugs.

   So this is not so much a health initiative (although it is), but also a hedge against illegally laundering benefits into ready cash. Of course this is nothing compared to the Somali fraud, but it’s still fraud and provides drug money to the poorest of the poor while their children starve.

   There was a news report last night on NewsMax about two “convenience stores” In Boston that are/were running a cash for SNAP cards scheme. Oddly the stores were run by a Haitian immigrant. Haitian = Bahamas n****r

   Just think about what this country would be like if those 50M illegals (who knows the number might be higher, but certainly NOT any lower and that’s not counting the 25M that came in under Bribem, so 75M+/-) weren’t here scamming the welfare programs and sucking up all of the good paying construction jobs and housing that should be going to people that were born here, brought to you by the Demonrat party. The Demonrat party, the party that fights for welfare and nutritional benefits for illegals, but thinks veterans and active duty troops are lower then whale chit.

   The press is always harping on “the housing shortage” and this shortage and that shortage but NEVER investigates or reports on the cause.

   Just make it good for 6 months and you can’t get it again for 2 years. IIRC unemployment worked something like that. Of course that would require the gov to keep accurate records and use ID. The horror.

   I know two sisters on SNAP, both in their 30s. The older sister was doing everything right, and then her husband found the wonders of meth and took up with his supplier. The older sister is working full time at a respectable job, going to school, and working odd jobs as she can find them to ensure the mortgage is paid and kids are fed.

   The younger sister hasn’t held a job for more than two weeks at time. She’s constantly looking for an excuse to not go to work. She does all forms of recreational activities that are not legal in all 50 states.

   The older sister I don’t mind helping. The world would be better off without the younger.
