Food stamp corruption. Oh, Hell No!

This is going way too far no matter how extended a family you claim on your income tax return.

from the article, "A spokeswoman for the US Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service said welfare benefits are reserved for households that buy and prepare food together. She said states should intervene if people are caught shipping nonperishables abroad."

The lovely approach of it's not us, it's them. The feds have 0 responsibility, the state has 0 responsibility, the social services have 0 responsibility.

If someone gets caught misusing their benefit, it should be revoked! I would bet that we could save a LOT of money if this were enforced.
