re: Trump may allow drug testing for food stamps

There was some state down here, Tennessee maybe, that passed this and it's still in place.

I don't feel like Googling it right now but it was something like less than 1% failed tests. It's pointless and costs the government a shite ton of money to conduct these tests.

If they can get a couple more states to run pilot programs and see that the tests are actually resulting in a lil' "bang for the buck" then, by all means, make it a national policy. Otherwise, it's just a waste of taxpayer dollars.

They sell food stamps at discount for cash to buy drugs

At least they used to

the way the scam works now is they fill up 2 shopping carts full of food to max out the monthly benefit amount, then they go straight from the register to the return counter and return everything.

you cant credit anything back onto the cards so they get walmart gift card for full cash amount. then they sell the gift card or just buy whatever they want with it.

you see it in walmarts everywhere returning entire overstuffed shopping carts of food, thats what they are doing, turning it into a form of cash money
