...cause someone just bought a Cadillac. (Most of you won't get the reference in the title, but oh well)
Namely, someone on welfare. As Dave Briggman reports on Republitarian, he saw a woman drive up in a brand-new Cadillac (with 30 day tags) at his local 7-11, purchase some soda and chips, and pay for it with a Virginia Cardinal card...which, if you didn't know, is the EBT card that is given to people who are on welfare, so they don't have to deal with food stamps.
While Briggman had some questions about how you can buy food with no nutritional value with a welfare card...I didn't particularly care about that part.
My question is: how does one get a brand-new Cadillac while on welfare??? Just like the title...another hip-hop song comes to mind when reading this story...
"Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent/But that's okay, cause I'm still fly"
Is there someone who can actually justify this? Or can we agree that this is obviously blatant abuse of the welfare program.

Since Briggman is so involved in this woman's business he should have asked her.
Maybe he could have started with the most obvious question of whether that was actually her car.
Touche', you do have a point there, Zen.
All things considered, though, this definitely isn't the first time I've heard of such an episode.
The tattoos and choice of merchandise purchased didn't mean much to me...but I get the feeling, from the way Briggman described the cashier's expression, that this was a frequent customer to the store and had probably been there in her Cadillac before.
