Or if the economic recovery isn't leaving millions more behind, then there is massive fraud in the food stamp program.

In example, a massive Food Stamp fraud ring was busted last year where at least $13,000,000.00 in cash was traded for a mountain of food stamps in Miami.

Some people fear that allowing online retailers like Amazon and others to accept Food Stamps will create more fraud. What do you all think?

Why on earth would anyone use their Food Stamps on Amazon? The food on there is ridiculously overpriced. If they are that hungry, they need to be budgeting their money, not trying to live like kings.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/USDA-Choice-G...&keywords=meat

$30 for a single pound of ground beef? Why would anyone at all buy that, food stamps or not?
