I was just finished checking out of our local grocery store when the woman behind me stated: "I just love this card - it is free money and I didn't have to work for it". Glancing back to see what miracle she had discovered - it was Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Card. CalFresh (formerly known as Food Stamps) and cash aid benefits come on a plastic card that you can use just like a debit ...
I had to bite my tongue and leave before I went into a tirade about people abusing our system.
She was dressed to the nines and I couldn't see any disability.
I worked and paid taxes so someone like this can get money without doing anything for it.
I still believe we need to assist some people - but that we should have them work for it.
Ok, enough said! I'm madder than I was!
