#3 and is not counted in their income by the census bureau.

Mp public aid is counted. It would erase poverty rate statistics.

#5 That’s absolutely what is done. I don’t know the exchange rate, but EBT is sold at a discounted rate. $50 cash for $100 worth of food stamps for example. At a place I once worked it was party time every month. They would wheel and deal over who would pay the most cash. “I’ll give you 10 for 20. I’ll give you 12 for 20.” Things like that. Look up Bone Thugs n Harmony some ng First of the Month. I think it was Chris Rock who talked about it being a Welfare Carol.

#6 imo: no one in thew U.S. should go hungry but ... when i was a lad (80 yrs ago) tramps would come to our door and my mom would give them food. the govt handed out food not plastic. lets revert to that!

#7 Your mom was practicing charity. The Left uses the public treasury to practice their charity.
