There is so much fraud in Welfare, Food Stamps and Section 8 Housing that eliminating most of it would go a long way in fixing our fiscal problems.
The point AG is making is that what you're seeing is not that uncommon and those receiving Food Stamps are eating much better than many of us. Much of the Food Stamp entitlements are either sold to another at a discounted price or given away. I know of someone who gave about $150 in food to the woman who was renting a room from me because she didn't need the food and the food stamp allotment was about to expire.
Calif is cutting back on the amount of Food Stamps being given out to each family, but they have hardly touched the surface on fraud, which is where the big savings would come into place.
