More "Obama Stash" crap or did the news people stop a rip off.

It sounds like the usual advance refund "scam", just with the advance provided on a prepaid debit card instead of cash or check.

I think rip off averted as well. What was galling was how dumbassed the outside workers were. Nothing screams "credibility" like a dooshbag answering a reporter's question using a megaphone.

I am a Photoshop dumbass. Is this legit looking?

They saved 8 bucks...Whats the problem....

Looks like somebody got the entrepreneurial spirit within them. Those look like pretty good prices on lobster tail, for Wisconsin.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ..err..exit what someone on food stamps buys. We give them a certain amount of money for them to spend on non-prepared foods and non-alcoholic beverages. It isn't like they get more if they run out, so why worry about it? If they want to eat steak and lobster on the 8th and rice and beans until the 28th, more power to 'em.

I can see why people would be outraged, but good protein is good protein.

The fact they can by something with zero nutritional value like Diet Moutain Dew on food stamps pisses me off far more than someone being a dumbass and blowing the whole wad on lobster tails and porterhouses at the first of the month.  Believe it or not, Red Bull is considered "nutritious" and also can be bought on SNAP.

I'd hate to think people on food stamps would be limited to crap like ramen noodles, Mac N Cheese, or TV dinners full of carcinogenic preservatives.

Oh, FWIW, Reasors, Food Pyramid, and Homeland all have lobster tail specials from time to time.  Usually 7.99 to 8.99 per 5 oz tail.  I grab ten when they have the sales as it's always good to have around for surf-n-turf or a little lobster benedict.

That's because they get their crap from the same wholesalers....

I ask for the ones of the Fuckushima coast, they are already half-baked.

Aaahhhhh, it's funny because of the nuclear thingy.

And they'll last forever!

You joke, but I haven't ate fish since the tsunami and may never again unless it's stream trout. Even that's getting fracked up.

That's what I thought was photoshopped. They only saved $8.00!  After all, people who are working their exit's off and cannot afford to buy surf and turf, while there are those that get those items on the taxpayers dime, are shitoutta luck. Yeah for the "entrepreneurial spirit"...

as has already been said, if people want to eat like a king for a day and then survive on practically nothing for the next month, they can do that even if they are doing on their own budget.  However, if this is a real receipt, and I don't see anything that says it's not, it would more than likely be a situation where the person receiving the food stamps sold some of them for half-price so they could have cash, and the buying person bought the tails.

Interestingly enough, I recently found out that you can purchase garden plants on food stamps, as long as they are fruit/vegetable/herb plants.
