David Webb - Barack Obama's Food Stamp Nation

Welfare recipients receive food stamps and cash assistance under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Both benefits are accessed through an EBT card, but only cash assistance — meant for housing, utilities and household necessities — can be accessed at ATMs.

A single-person household could receive a maximum $200 in monthly food stamps plus $158 in cash assistance. A family of four could get as much as $668 in food stamps and $433 in cash.

The food-stamp program prohibits the purchase of booze, tobacco and lottery tickets with an EBT card. But with the cash-assistance program, users can blow money on strippers or a six-pack and to tap welfare dollars from liquor stores, casinos and adult-oriented establishments.

TeaParty365, a non-partisan advocacy organization, was founded in February 2009 by fiscal conservative activists David Webb, Thomas J. Basile and Kellen Giuda to advocate for fiscal responsibility, free enterprise and the protection of American liberty. We believe that limited, effective and efficient government must be our collective goal in order for this nation to maintain its place as the world’s leader. Tea Party 365 spreads the message that limited government means enhanced freedom and that increased personal responsibility ultimately leads to higher achievement for all Americans.
