      Look up skimming, they attach machines to the card machines in the grocery store to replicate the real ones, and that machine reads all your information, pin code, account information and BOOM your stamps Gone! Just happened to me last week and I am pissed. I need my benefits.

    "They need it." Meanwhile, stamps are selling for 50 cents on the dollar.

    Food stamp fraud? Its always been fraud. I live in FL. Anyone I've ever seen on foodstamps buy whole brisket, lobster, prime rib, etc. Stuff that alot of people cant afford on a budget. I know this is not the case for everyone on them, but Jesus. Should be a limit on what you can get. Essentials, not luxurious items.

      The reason is: they go by your income. Not your resources. So mama with a big house lots of cars and jewelry doesn't work can get it.
