Seems there was a glitch in the food stamp benefits and the obama voters decided to take advantage. This video shows the aftermath of our "poor" taking advantage of the system yet again.

I will say that Walmart was stupid to put no limit on the amount the people could buy without verification. They should have limited it to $50.oo or so, more than enough to get food for the night until the computers came back on.



From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., a frenzy of shoppers filled their carts to the brim with as much food as they could get their hands on. When the cards came back online at 9 p.m., people literally abandoned their carts full of food in the middle of the Walmart and left.
One woman who tried to ring up $700 worth of food only had .49 cents on her card. She was held by police for ‘stealing’ but was let go on the condition that she would give the food back to Walmart.
Walmart had to stop selling food at 9 p.m. Their shelves were stark and both empty and full carts were left all over the store.

Isn't it great to see the sort of animals our tax dollars fund?

I was working at Walgreens when the EBT/SNAP cards were not getting approval, like most grocery stores, we apologized, 'but nothing we could do.'

I don't know who from Walmart corporate told the stores involved, I think there were two in LA, 'no limit.' Really, by the very nature of the program there are limits. When was the last time you picked up 7 or 8 grocery carts full? At the height of family members over for Christmas, perhaps 25-30, two carts were enough. That was insane.

It's worse when you realize, they have now learned how to VOTE for our tax dollars!

It's a terrible thing isn't it? I think that there are far too many of them to reverse this trend and fix things.

Nice to see you Mr. P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
