        Citing one specific example of a person with wealth receiving TANF, is poor reporting. Maybe the reporter should speak to the families who are not only relying on TANF, but also a myriad of other food banks. There are millions of them.

        I heard lots of things from people lying, so they receive permanent food stamps when it's supposed to be a temporary grant. Meanwhile Canada laughing from our health care system.

        Now that you so carefully documented how SNAP is being taken advantage of in a few situations, how about highlighting the millions who are saved by it? Oh, I forgot. You are owned by Murdoch=Fox.

        Millionaires collect GOP sponsored corporate welfare all the time. Look at Jersey under Christie. Look at the GOP tax bill. Draining the swamp? I think not.
