When dealing with people like this it's always someone else's fault. What happened to being responsible for your actions?

 

A small percent of the people use this program the way it was a designed, a gap to get through a short difficult time. I really feel for those people and applaud the program. For those who use this as an income shame on you. Stop waisting my money and the tax payers money and provide for yourself.

WalMart shouldn't accepted any of the cards . WalMart's greed caused this to happen .They wanted that Moolah .

 

Ummmmm...wow, what can I say. I just don't see who some people view the world so differently.

See...all that finger pointing and passing the buck actually works on some.

Read the story Wal-mart Corporate told the stores to let the people use the cards . Walmart knew that they would be paid no matter what . They should have refused to accept the cards instead of saying OK . Walmart acquiesced in the theft of Merchandise from their own stores. Yes It was certainly theft .

So what's the greater problem -- what happened at the Louisiana Wal-Marts or ExxonMobil taking government handouts even though the company made $9.5 billion in the first quarter of 2013? Wouldn't you agree it's important to think outside the box a little bit in order to put these "incidents" in perspective? Maybe not -- interferes too much with these red-meat classist rants.

You and I both know that if WalMart had declined on the card usage, they would have been hit with every arrow imaginable by the press and left for "disenfranchising" the poor.

Are you sure you're not a lifelong politburo member? Your spewing of Soviet style propaganda is quite good.

Please provide a percentage figure and a source for this insightful bit of information.

Have you ever been to a store where they said that their credit card EBT system was down . It has happened to me at least three times that I can remember .Twice in Kroger once in Remke's . I didn.t have enough cash so I left the cart and came back the next day and used my debit cards when the system was online again . .

I will answer that one. It's called eyes, I have eyes, and I see it every day. Besides, are you arguing that we have that many helpless people in this country?

No I haven't, BUT if those folks getting guvmint "food stamps" have credit cards, haven't they really exceeded the purpose of needing EBT cards? I mean, doesn't the left demonize banks and lending institutions for "predatory" lending to those who can't afford it? Making them slaves to the lending institutions? Isn't it fair to say the Federal Govt does the same thing by creating dependency? Making folks slaves to the politicians that just love for them to come crawling with their hand out, which keeps those politicians in power?

Just an excuse for poor management and executive decisions

You must be reading between my lines seeing what you pushes your narrative I said I had the debit cards I don't know if the people in line with Food stamps cards had credit cards . I generally pay with debit credit cards .Don't carry much cash . Everyone that wanted to pay electronically left their carts if they didn't have the cash .

"Guvmint"? Yet another classist gem. And I get castigated by a moderator for having the audacity to try to put this discussion in perspective.
