So, it would be almost impossible to know which customers are using "food stamps" and who is using a bank card.

It SHOULD be! That is part of the problem. SNAP cards, run by the JP Morgan bank, should be able to buy ONLY staple foods. REAL food. Not the crap that Kraft, Tyson, and all the other food manufacturers make.

My example was before the electronic cards. It really happened. The lady (black) was all decked out, really fancy, like she was stopping on the way to a party. I was shocked when she pulled out that book to pay. She's either cheating the system or buying the stamps for 50 cents on the dollar.

I know of a young man that sold his EBT card for money to purchase drugs.

It does happen and that is illegal. If the cashiers were required to check IDs against the name on the card, it would backfire on the unauthorized buyer. It may be required, I don't know.

It would be against their civil rights to ask them for ID. After all, it is a civil rights violation to ask for Voter ID, according to liberals. You might "disenfranchise" them.

This is the source I found. Those who enjoy reading might be interested in what journalists from around the world are saying about Tump. It has a search feature so you could look for any political topic. And this is how the site describes itself:


WatchingAmerica reflects global opin*ion about the United States, helping Americans and non-Americans alike understand what the world thinks of current issues that involve the U.S. This is done by providing news and views about the United States published in other countries.

It is not our purpose to find favorable or unfavorable content, but to reflect as accurately as possible how others perceive the richest and most powerful country in the world. We have no political agenda.

WatchingAmerica makes available in English articles written about the U.S. by foreigners, often for foreign audiences, and often in other languages. Since WatchingAmerica offers its own translations, regular users of our site will enjoy articles not available in English anywhere else. We are a unique window into world opinion.

I hope that the World is as afraid of Donald Trump as they were of Reagan . How long did it take the macho Iranians to release the US Hostages under Reagan`s watch ?
It took them no longer than it took Reagan to take the Oath of Office .
So much for their chants of " Death To America " . That cry worked for them when a limp-wristed Carter was in charge . Oh Reagan is now in office == hey American`s we were only kidding ! You were free to leave months ago !!

We flagged Rubio’s comment as a misleading framing of history. Reagan’s inauguration in 1981 may have coincided with the release of the hostages, but historians say it did not cause it. Instead, the Iranians had tired of holding the hostages, and that the administration of Jimmy Carter did the legwork to get the hostages released.
