SNAP abuse is going to be addressed nationwide; the people who support every terrible thing are mad

When State Senator Arthur Orr made a Facebook post about food stamp/EBT card abuse, Alabama Political Reporter’s Josh Moon took to his page to rant about how cruel it is to keep welfare users from buying $55 boxes of chocolate.

Moon’s followers took to Sen. Orr’s page to attack him for suggesting we spend too much on food stamps and we allow it to be spent on junk food.

Luckily for Orr, we have recently gone through a very public discussion on food stamps and welfare dependency, and people want accountability.

Unfortunately for Moon and his friends, it is coming.
