As long as you lie, you can get higher benefits. Most of these recipients have plenty of money for IPhones and their ilk, big screen TVs, vacations, and other luxury items. That's why they want food stamps---so they don't have to use their own money on food. It's all a game. The Government teat is there. All one has to do is cry poverty and have more kids. Why do you think most welfare families have a bunch of kids and vote Democrat to thank them for the handouts? And why do we find so many cases of three generations of the same family on welfare? It's become a way of life for some. None of them seems interested in making life better by working for it.
