Taisha Simon had heard of people stealing money the federal government gives families to buy groceries, but she didn't realize she would become one of their victims. It happened last June when the 42-year-old mother headed out for the big shop she does at the beginning of each month after getting $939 in US food aid for her and her four children. Her vulnerability, as it turns out, was a plastic, government-provided debit card that relies on outdated technology. The government uses Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards to issue food and cash assistance, and cardholders use them. When Simon checked out at her local Aldi's, her cart full of canned food and vegetables, nothing was left on her card. She paid for what she could out of pocket, but that fell far short of what her family needed.

"I cried every day because my 5-year-old has autism and my 17-year-old has ADHD and ODD and they have food sensitivity," said Simon, who works as an assistant manager at a retail store. "I wasn't able to feed them the way they were normal

Must be nice, I sure hope Trump does come back and fix things. SNAP, HUD, Medicaid - ninety percent of the debt is these parasite-feeding programs. Life is a lemon and I want my money back. - Meat Loaf Jessica Atreides Marshall 20 minutes ago If something isn't done it's going to be ugly. Trump - if he survives - will at best hold back the darkness for four years. Unless he substantially winnows the assailants he will be succeeded by another demonrat and it starts again. And this time they'll do a much more thourough job - a couple thousand in the gulags now will be joined by tens of thousands. FBI/ATF raids shooting people willy-nilly will be so common no notices. Hell, no one is paying attention now. We have entered the time when all will turn against us and seek our lives.
