Does using food stamps still carry a stigma?

Unread post by alexalonso » February 26th, 2013, 6:48 pm

The last three years saw an increase of Americans using food stamps, but today, your food stamps are given to you on a credit card with a pin number, so you only need to slide it like all the the cards.

When I was a young buck, food stamps looked like monopoly money, and for some people, it is embarrassing to pull that funny money out infront of all the kids and pay for the groceries.

Are people still embarrassed today to use food stamps?

president Obama is being blamed for the poor economy so he is being blamed for the increased food stamps usage.

EBT Debit card ruined a good hustle. The old homies on Shaw and Jefferson had it on lock for a minute. Between the 1st and 3rd was an easy come up if you knew a gang a females on the county. Some of these rats have so many kids they would get hundreds in stamps.
