Think the food stamp system isn’t broken? Meet @_EatMyTweets13.
According to her Twitter feed, @_EatMyTweets13 called to check her food stamp balance earlier this month. She was surprised to learn that she’s still getting assistance and the balance has grown to $400.

My food stamp account looking like 400 because I didn't know I still was getting them . 👏—

Many of our elected officials caw about how food stamp fraud, illegal sale of EBT cards and benefits that exceed need are the stuff of myth. Oh, and of course nasty conservatives hate the poor because they won’t increase entitlements.
But evidently @_EatMyTweets13 doesn’t exactly need SNAP benefits to meet her nutritional needs.

I might let them build up and sell them—

Hey, guys, she’s got a cable bill to pay.

There’s no evidence that this young woman committed food stamp fraud. All we know is that according to her tweets, she receives benefits she doesn’t seem to use. But D.C. pander-bears continue to protect a system in which people who do just fine without food stamps look forward to a taxpayer-funded payday each month.
What else do we know about @_EatMyTweets13?
She has an iPhone. (Service plans don’t come cheap.)

And she likes to use that iPhone to tweet about her surprisingly high food stamp balance.

She has WiFi:

She cranks up her air conditioning like it’s going out of style.

Biggest Lie of any President in 237 years.

RUSH: It's pathological. With Clinton it was (Clinton impression), "I never had sex with that woman, not a single time, never, and I never asked anybody to lie." And that then became a controversy over the definition of "is." Remember that? Depends on what "is" is. This is pathological. Obama is now saying he didn't say what he said. Obama is now trying, by the way, if I can do this, he's trying to implement the Limbaugh Theorem.  Full Story

Rush Limbaugh Interview with Greta Van Susteren "Obama a Bad Guy ?"

Excellent interview on who Obama is and what he really believes and wants for America.  Rush goes off in detail on why Obama is a "Bad Guy" and how he wishes that Americans feel the pain that he (Obama) believes America is dishing out to other countries.  Obama with a chip on his shoulder for Capitalism and the absolute hate he (obama) has for Rich Americans, is the root of all his policies.  This interview was over a year ago but still very insightful and educational. 

Thank You Mr. Rush Limbaugh
