I have a family member that works at the Welfare office (DFS). A family of 4 gets about $1000 dollars a month on their EBT card.
My wife and I in 20+ years of marriage and raising a couple of kids NEVER spent half that to fully feed our kids 3 squares a day.
Its shocking, I really don't know why anyone would want to work, if you figure in just the EBT, the free healthcare, it has to amount to a couple grand a month by itself. PLUS many of these folks are on SSI disability to top things off, getting free housing, and milking the local pantries and churchs for all they are worth. It is sickining really, Tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse are rampant as well as plenty of funding for the tats and piercings....Its a raquet and will likely cause the few folks that really need the help to suffer mightly when the money runs out or the working folks will not OR no Longer can pay.
It will end badly.
You need to come down to Florida and see my grocery bill, at least 250 for one week, go to BJ's and spend 160 conservatively on detergent,six to eight cases of water,four gallons of milk, cereal, eggs, cold cuts, bread and the list goes on. Maybe a couple of years ago but today it's ridiculous how much groceries cost.
Yep, i just got back from the store. The city water here will kill you faster than smoking cigarettes. Smells like a fucking sewer.
I purchase 5 cases of water, a Gal of milk, some apples, bananas, oranges, vitamins, orange juice, small first aid kit, $9 and 3 health food bars.
a hundred fuckin dollars!
