DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Shocking: Fox News Reporting Interview With Unabashed Surfer Receiving Food Stamps BY FOX NEWS INSIDER // AUG 10 2013 // 2:18PM AS SEEN ON FOX NEWS REPORTING The Fox News Reporting Special: ‘The Great Food Stamp Binge’ exposed the government’s startling attempts to get people to sign up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – or food stamps. The cost to taxpayers: a projected $78 billion dollars this year. Shocking Stat: 1 in 7 Americans Is on Food Stamps Did you miss the special? Catch it again this Sunday night at 9p ET on Fox News Channel! It was during an investigation into the record number of food stamp recipients that Fox News’ John Roberts met Jason Greenslate, a surfer and rocker who is living the self-described “rat life” in California. The 29-year-old signed up for SNAP and receives $200 dollars a month in taxpayer money for food. He put it simply, “I don’t got a paycheck coming in, so I qualify.” All he has to do is provide his birth certificate and Social Security card and fill out a form once a year. In 1996, if you were an able adult with no family, you would only qualify for food stamps for three months every three years. President Obama wiped away those restrictions when he signed the 2009 stimulus bill. In 2010, the president used his regulatory powers to extend the suspension of the welfare-to-work requirements. Greenslate is trained to be a recording engineer, but he told Roberts he has no paycheck because holding down a steady job isn’t for him. So, it was off to the gourmet section of the grocery store, as Greenslate purchased sushi and lobster with his EBT card. “All paid for by our wonderful tax dollars,” he said, telling Roberts that’s what he typically buys. “This is the way I want to live and I don’t really see anything changing,” Greenslate said. “It’s free food; it’s awesome.” PART 1: PART 2: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/08/10/shocking-fox-news-reporting-interview-unabashed-surfer-receiving-food-stamps#ixzz2baysveGV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
