    This makes no sense, how can you have 1k to buy boots, but still have a low enough income to qualify for food stamps?

    And you realize food stamps isn’t something you can just get on when you realize you overspent that month, it’s a months long process in many places with paperwork and income verification.

    You sound like someone whos never had to deal with the welfare process at all and spout bullshit to discredit it like many right wing nuts like to do.

    Shes probably your ex because she broke up with you, good for her.

      Yes I realize it takes a long time to get approval. The paperwork started showing up at our house while she was doing that spending. My entire point was that she was abusing a welfare program.

        Abuse how though? That’s a very important piece of information you’ve failed to give. Did she falsify her income on her application? Because that IS a felony. Did she come into some money after applying and just didn’t report it? That’s also a reportable offense.

        Orrr was she on food stamps and as a result actually had some disposable income for once and spent it on things you didn’t agree with? Because that’s NOT abuse. It’s the whole point of food stamps. You get a couple hundred for groceries every month and maybe that’ll decrease the load so you can have some money for disposable income for once to spend on other things.

          Fucking thank you. I work with SNAP and you’ve absolutely nailed the intention of the program. That assclown is disgustingly bitter.
