Here in the swamp, you used to be able to go into the section 8 neighborhoods and buy foodstamps for 50 cents on the dollar from crackheads. Now, they are issued with the recipients name and SS# stamped on them so that they must show a picture ID to use them. At first it didn't make much difference until the state cracked down on store owners/managers/employees who weren't checking. Once people started getting fined and/or going to jail....................
Now, it's not quite as bad.
