Feel good story of the day.

Via Baton Rouge Advocate:

The Jindal administration announced late Wednesday that it is moving to strip food stamps from recipients who took advantage of a technical glitch last month to stock up on free groceries.

The announcement came after U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., pressured state officials to take action by taking away food stamp benefits and forming a task force with local prosecutors to bring criminal charges. Retailers lost money when they allowed food stamp recipients to leave their stores with groceries even though they could not check spending limits. When the transactions were processed later, thousands bounced back because recipients exceeded their food stamp balances.

Smartphone images of empty store shelves and bulging grocery carts at Wal-Marts in Springhill and Mansfield made national news.

The state Department of Children and Family Services said Wednesday that retailers across the state got 12,000 nonsufficient funds messages when the food stamp system came back online. The agency’s spokeswoman, Lindsey deBlieux, said investigations are ongoing to determine how many people took advantage. Retailers could have tried to process transactions multiple times. Recipients also could have made multiple purchases.

Want to do something useful? Demand mandatory drug testing for people in public housing,and immediate eviction for anyone failing a test after a backup test is ran. If both come back positive,homeless the same day.

If it is a minor,he and his mother are both homeless the same day.

Wanna wake baby-mama up that can't control her kids? I guarantee you this is the way to do it.

Also,any resident of public housing that has a non-family member living with them gets the boot. If you live in public housing and have a live in girlfriend or boyfriend,they should have been paying rent.

Also,mandatory birth control for everybody in public housing. If you get pregnant or father a child,you do not get any more money or food stamps than you were already receiving.
