Anyone not having some form of identification in 21st century America is either hiding something or trying to prove a stupid leftist point.
 
Food stamp recipients will have their grocery store humiliation compounded by having to show a photo ID in order to buy food [3] if Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) gets his way.

If you find it humiliating Ken, then why not just get a job?

Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday new proposals targeting individuals who sell SNAP cards, commonly known as food stamps, for cash.
The agency said individuals suspected of defrauding the system are requesting a large number of replacement cards.

Food stamp fraud has gone high-tech in recent years, with SNAP cards being sold on Craigslist and eBay, according to the USDA. There also have been attempts to sell the food assistance benefits through the popular social media sites Twitter and Facebook.

A CBS2 News hidden-camera investigation uncovered people selling food stamps, cashing in your taxpayer money. With hidden cameras, we uncovered a black market of people offering to sell their food stamp benefits for cash, which is against the law.

With the cash they could buy whatever they want — perhaps alcohol, cigarettes or even drugs — things you can’t buy with food stamps, all coming from your money.


:rofl2:

Gee, what a thought, stopping fraud from being committed by requesting a photo ID to use the card.

To be fair, it could be John O'Connor trying to stay off the grid to avoid Terminators. Why would you feel it right to endanger his life to prove some right-wing extremist point?
 
I understand that having an ID is part of life in the 21st century.

But do we require it? Is the loss of freedom worth stopping a few cases of foodstamp fraud. The majority of fraud cases are with vendors, not recipients,

"Loss of freedom"? You've got to be kidding me. When you take a GovCo handout, you've lost more than your freedom; you've lost your self-respect. GovCo has every right to tell you exactly how to spend that handout.

Horseshit. Taking assistance does not remove freedoms.

YES THEY DO, TAKER!!!



Yes it does. Handouts ALWAYS come with limitations. The taker is beholden to the whims of the benefactor.

So where does that lead us? Do tax breaks require a loss of freedoms?

These programs are mostly short term aid for families with children. Most are on them for less than 5 years. Requiring they give up freedoms in order to not starve is absolutely bogus.

Who fucking cares? Do you think that gives him a pass for the special brand of stupid he spams the forum with?

I don't get this line of illogical logic; if you served, you get a special pass to be incredibly stupid and partisan?

Is the argument here is that if you are getting FREE food from the Government, you shouldn't have to act responsibly and not defraud the Governmemt? It's about as stupid as claiming that "millions" do not have proper ID.
