It was from the Washington Examiner, my guess would be this could be thier final straw with the press, pro or con to them they'll circle the wagons now that this chicken has come home to roost.
I'm in Ohio and it's usually in the inner city but I've seen KFC and Burger king's both with signs that say "we accept EBT", and people buying a huge meal with sides at KFC paying for it with thier EBT card. I'm not saying people on food stamps should have no luxuries like ice cream or pop or even KFC, but it should be limited to 10% max of thier supplement each month.
In the inner city almost every corner market that used to be a UDF or a 7-Eleven it is common practice for the owners of those places to give you 50 cents on the dollar for whatever's on your card for whatever you want
