Bitch it's called being smart! why buy food when you can buy food stamps 4 half price 19 Apr 12 Food stamps aren’t just a hot topic on Capitol Hill and among presidential candidates. They are also a much-discussed topic on Twitter. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food stamp trafficking is illegal: One of the most common forms of food stamp fraud, known as food stamp trafficking, involves the illegal buying or selling of food stamp benefits for cash, drugs, weapons or other items of value. Unlawful possession or use of food stamp benefits in an amount of $100 or more is a felony; less than $100 is a misdemeanor. Yet many Twitter users openly discuss the purchase or sale of food stamps: Natasha Lero @GoodIntentionZ3 [iframe class=twt-follow-button src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=GoodIntentionZ3&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameBorder=0 allowTransparency scrolling=no][/iframe] Who selling food stamps??? 19 Apr 12 Cartier Kittens; @jay_marae [iframe class=twt-follow-button src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=jay_marae&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameBorder=0 allowTransparency scrolling=no][/iframe] Selling food stamps on fb<<<< 19 Apr 12 Brandon blackstone @BB_STONE [iframe class=twt-follow-button src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=BB_STONE&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameBorder=0 allowTransparency scrolling=no][/iframe] Who selling food stamps 19 Apr 12 ShowNOLove @yungnbright [iframe class=twt-follow-button src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=yungnbright&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameBorder=0 allowTransparency scrolling=no][/iframe] Gotta buy some food stamps by tomorro 19 Apr 12 Shaniece Bridges @SheNice614 [iframe class=twt-follow-button src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=SheNice614&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameBorder=0 allowTransparency scrolling=no][/iframe] Real question!!!

If they were made to show their ID to match card this would end this, but that would make to much sense. Could use same ID to vote. twitchy.com
