My favorite talk show host, Neal Boortz, calls the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards "Push-Button Plunder." EBT cards replace the traditional food stamps and look like a credit/debit/bank card. You may have even seen the button for EBT option on the debit machine at the grocery store.
I'm not a real fan of the "food stamp" program because it is classic socialism. The government uses force to take money from one group of people to buy other people food. I hate it when I see some fat slob with a grocery cart full of junk food push that little EBT button at the grocery store. I just wish she would turn around and say "Thank you." It then really gets my goat when I follow her out to the parking lot and she is driving a nicer car than I do.
Anyway, the program is about to get worse. Now, not only can people buy food you can't afford with your money at the grocery store. But restaurants in San Francisco are now happily accepting EBT. Gee...isn't that special.
