Plenty of people sell food stamps at less than fifty cents on the dollar for cash. I also was told by a co-worker that he was in line at the grocery store and the person in front of him had some food for his pet and would not be allowed to use the card for that, so they ran to the meat case and added some ground beef to his check out, and stated dog will eat good tonight. Not a big deal but that is how.

The stats don't indicate that it's a huge problem . . . 1%? Unless you're aware of other stats.

1% sounds small. Almost insignificant.

If we think of it in terms of parasite impact on an animal, it's not much, most of us can carry that many parasites without much problem. However, if there are other parasites and if the parasites target systems or organs, then it can be a life-threatening problem. 1% in the gut is insignificant. 1% in the eye or brain? That's a dangerous parasite.

Getting back to food stamps, maybe they are 1% of the intestinal flora. Perhaps there is also waste and fraud in the DoD and spook agencies? Perhaps in Obamacare or Medicare? Social Security?

At the present time parasites are taking more from the taxpayers than the taxpayers can support. Want to add more to the taxpayer? Who pays?
