[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2079724, member: 12952"] Your numbers are misleading . Your 1 in 7 info probably comes from relief aid agencies , who see the local free food pantries running out of supplies . Why does this happen ? Well here's how it works ; first of the month every EBT card gets refilled , the card holders use up the credit of these cards to buy food staples to ship back their home countries . When the cards are empty , then they visit the food pantries to fill their own bellies . The underground economy of the foreign workers sends $54B overseas annually , of which I recall only OK. taxes . If the federal gov't also taxed this flow at say 20% , then our economy would get a much needed influx . [/QUOTE]
