What is this some sort of revelation? People are always going to abuse the system no matter what is. Not to mention if Double Barrel holds an opinion you can expect it to be wrong.

Please explain where this piece of "journalism" lists anything but anecdotal accounts with little or no verification. Also, what are the percentages of fraud?

I mean anyone can say anything on the Internet. And fox often does.

Nothing new. I've been approached several times at the grocery store by people offering to pay $200 of my groceries with their food stamps for $150 of my cash. Happens often around here. Sucks really.

This is a perfect example why a good intro stats class is about the most useful class one can take in life.

Riiiiight.

"Statistics" and "facts" mean very little to modern so-called conservative. Too bad because I used to be a con myself. They have shifted so far to the right and so far away from reality that I am now considered a moderate liberal.

Typical SadRyan.................oh Otto, you assume facts not in evidence.

You assume sooo many things about conservatives (and me) that just aren't true

Fraud committed by poor people is way more enraging than fraud committed by rich people

Well, they do tend to end up in jail for it far more often...

Rich people can afford to cover it up. That makes it OK.

Well...for me, it has more to do with how welfare recipients are mostly minorities.

Communism didnt kill anyone-its an idea. A concept that mankind works together and shares the rewards relatively equally among its people is not KILLING anyone. Greedy power-mad tyrants kill people and they are'nt just doing it hiding behind a single social system.

Officials said smaller retailers often fraudulently obtain PIN or card numbers from program beneficiaries and keep the funds without the person’s knowledge. In the last decade, USDA has disqualified more than 8,300 retailers for such fraud.

Arizona authorities have broken up a massive food stamp fraud ring in Phoenix and seized almost $700,000 in cash. K&S convenience store workers Kameel Sweiss, Ameer Sweiss, and Faday Sweiss were arrested on Wednesday on charges of suspicion of illegally conducting an enterprise, fraudulent schemes and artifices, money laundering, unlawful use of food stamps, and computer tampering. "People were essentially selling their cards to [the] store," said spokesperson Stephanie Grisham.

Wrong Pinko.

Name me a communist state where they live up to the "concept that mankind works together and shares the rewards relatively equally among its people"

There are none.

Because they all turn into brutal dictatorships

The percentage of food stamp payments that are trafficked has been about 1% for the last decade.
