Conservatives have been excoriated as racist for spotlighting the rise in food-stamp use under President Obama. But on social media, Americans of all races and backgrounds have no problem pointing out the literal signs of dependency — especially when EBT (electronic benefit transfer) food stamp cards are used to purchase junk food, non-food, and other absurd items far beyond the basic dietary sustenance of the social safety net.
Like Autozone auto repair services:
