Title: Electronic Benefits Transfer video--real or not?
Post by: Monkeyleg on March 11, 2012, 05:58:11 PM: Someone just emailed me a link to this. It seems like it could be real, but just as possible to be a fake.

What do you think?

But I can tell you I've witnessed a lot of outrageous stuff in person, actually happening, concerning the EBT bullshit.

I haven't saw a sign for McDonalds yet.

I hate it when English is butchered by IDIOTS!

It truly is no wonder that CA is in deep *expletive deleted*it.

Depends on what you mean by "real".

Does California use the EBT debit system? Yes.

Can California recipients buy fast food with their EBT cards? Yes.

Are the figures she cites correct? Don't know.

Snopes has an entry on "Chapter the Artist", for what it's worth: http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/parasites.asp
