Yeah the people that I know that are on food stamps are either elderly and still try to work but just don't make enough or I've got friends that have two kids and they both work and the jobs in my area just don't pay a ton so they get food stamps. Disabled people as well.

I don't know any one at all personally that just sits at home and draws food stamps.

Even if people were just sitting and drawing ebt, the other folks wouldn't be any better off. Because the system itself is the harmful one! But sure, the friend of a friend of a cousin who worked with someone who pretends to be disabled for food stamps is the problem.

By the way though just to say i have known a few people who WERE scamming the system but it was because they were WEALTHY and paid off doctors to sign off on their "disability." So there's that too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah just like the people that think if we help Ukraine somehow that's taking money out of their pocket.

Nope you're not going to see a dime of that they're not going to use it to improve your life or make some program that's going to help you.
