I read the shutdown will be ending after today,s election. Dems were holding out to fire up their voters before the election.

I seen fraud that would blow you mind, when i worked at GFS we had people come in with EBT from 3 different States. Some of these people still stoke Merch. I would slice a  cooked turkey breast and they would snack on it while shopping, then hide the wrapper, not cheap.
They would buy Red bull to sell to gas stations, spices , oil and French fries to Restaurants.
Shrimp, chicken wings and junk food.
They would buy boxes of candy bars , skittles etc and sell them or have their kids sell them.
Glad I'm retired.

Yep,
My brother worked as a meat manager in a chain market years ago . He said food stamp recipients would come in and buy meat. The next day they would return the meat for one reason or another and receive cash back.
