"to buy lobster, steak and Mountain Dew did not violate any laws or rules. However, the purchaser was arrested for breaking the law in allegedly turning around and selling the foodstuffs to someone else for 50% of the original retail price"

Welfare reform, please? How about if we just start handing out sacks of flour instead of foodstamps? The last time I was at the city grocery store I saw lines of perfectly able adults using ebt cards to spend my money on stuff like this.

I have some relatives who started getting food stamps a few years ago and now spend way more on groceries than they did before. They always have plenty of Pepsi cubes and Doritos.
