August 11th – This highlight from ”Fox News Reporting: The Great Food Stamp Binge” 29-year-old Jason Greenslate of La Jolla CA gets up late each day before heading to the beach to hit the waves. A rock musician at night, Greenslate suffers for his “art.” One listen of Jason’s music and you realize his audience suffers as well. So who’s to deny this gnarly surfer dude his lobster on the barbie? Certainly not the government, as Jason often puts lobster (and his beloved sushi) on his EBT card. Greenslate: “It’s free food, it’s awesome.” Not long ago you could only get food stamps for 3 months every 3 years, unless you worked 20 hours/week or were in workfare or a job training program. But in 2009 O nixed these restrictions in his stimulus bill, so Jason now gets “free food” all year long. A big reason why Greenslate says he doesn’t want no “motherf***ing job.” Jason did though thank taxpayers for supporting his lifestyle. But is his story unique? Probably not, in the 1970s 1 in 50 Americans were on food stamps. Today it’s 1 in 6. In surfer lingo that’s “radical.” It sure is. P
