Seems like the easy and luxurable life is the jobless EBT folks. |

| Celestia User ID: 30658846 12/22/2012 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | EBT can only used on cold food. It does not cover hot food.. So basically you can only get a cold drink , ice cream and such.. McDonalds is not any worse then processed food at a grocery store. They have nutritional facts on all their food and if anything they are limiting sodium in most of their foods. You can buy salads and fruit dishes.. Everyone assumes Mcdonalds is bad and they have always got a bad reputation. |
| amendamarie User ID: 34769967 05/14/2013 02:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not everyone who uses foodstamps is lazy and jobless. I work 50 hours a week and have a 3 year old son and have never used health and welfare benefits. Well after my mother passed away I became responsible for not only providing for my son, but also my disabled dad, and my two minor sisters. I receive benefits now but my situation is different I actually work. I do understand and agree with you that a lot of people are lazy and use the benefits so they don't have to work but not everyone falls into this category. As for EBT being used at Mcdonalds, I do know they passed the law to allow homeless people and people without the resources to cook to obtain food but for everyone else it should only be for the grocery store. |

The Work Ethic, and the dignity that goes with it in any healthy society..needs to be restored, for sure. But such a turnaround should be accompanied by massive, public executions of the Kingpin Deadbeats ultimately responsible for this sorry state of affairs. It would discourage future Bums, big and small... form repeating the crime again. No? |

Pretty tasty. Veggies and such. I'm sure I qualify for food stamps and unemployment right now but I just can't bring myself to ask for that kind of assistance. Gotta go...job interview soon. ;) |
