Very true. There are plenty of people in legit need of government assistance for things such as food, etc... But being able to use EBT for fast food is stupid, in any state, unless of extreme circumstances like after Hurricane Katrina when they allowed temporary purchase of hot deli items at places like Wal-Mart, etc...
Gonna make my rig 4wd when we're done with Wombat's?
Let's just get some Cali EBT and that will pay for it all! - Maybe that was mean or just wrong...

Exactly right WR. Only problem I have is not being able to verify the content as real or staged. However, it is a real thing....to "work" the system. I'm certainly not offended and Cali is not the only broke-**** state.
Here's a nice read, and I'm not promoting ANY political party here.
A Ford Dealer's Report
This is exactly why Mitt Romney said that 40 some % of the people are too dependent on the government. They have learned to work the system.
A Ford Dealer's Report - From Tom Selkis' (Latham Ford) Facebook - True story yesterday at the dealership.
"I'll try to make this as short and to the point as I can.
One of my salesmen here had a woman in his office yesterday wanting to lease a brand new Focus.
As he was reviewing her credit application with her he noticed she was on social security disability.
He said to her you don't look like you're disabled and unable to work.
She said well I'm really not. I could work if I wanted to, but I make more now than I did when I was working and got hurt (non-disabling injury).
She said the gov't sends her $1500.00 a month in 1 check. And she gets $700.00 a month on an EBT card (food stamps), and $800.00 a month for rent.
Oh yeah, and 250 minutes free on her phone.
That is just south of $3500.00 a month.
When she was working, she was taking home about $330.00 per week.
Do the math and then ask yourself why the hell should she go back to work.
If you multiply that by millions of people, you start to realize the scope of the problem we face as a country.
Once the socialists have 51% of the population in that same scenario, we are finished.
The question is when do we cross that threshold if we haven't already, and there are not enough people working to pay enough taxes to support the non-working people? Riots?? Be prepared to protect your homes.
She didn't lease the Focus here because the dealer down the road beat our deal by $10.00/month.
Glad to know she is so frugal with her hard earned money."

^^ Very.
Some states, including Ga, do drug testing when applying for Food Stamps, perhaps the all the states should adopt some kind of "testing" for those who really need assistance and how much assistance.
My father in law is disabled, he was a truck driver and got hurt at a loading dock, messed his back up and his neck, if he turns his neck too far in either direction it can get stuck in place and require medical assistance to safely free it.
He applied for Disability and apparently they sent people to check out his case, he was denied because they caught him in a kiddie pool holding one of his grandchildren at a theme park.
He was later approved.

it is sometimes hard to say if certain people deserve to be on disability or not. i know i got it and don't always need it. if they could get me a job i would take it. my current job only has me working 1 day a week and the disability has helped me and my mom get by when my mom was unemployed. for every dollar i make working disability take $0.50 off what they would give me each month but they also give me another $100 for being employed.

well there is nothing physically wrong with me other than being a bit overweight. i got a one of those disability that are pretty much not noticeable. doctors had an idea what i had but it was not verified until i wanted to go to the school that i was out of my area. i had to do psych testing to verify what i had and qualify for a program at the school with the best auto shop
