(Excerpt) Current law allows food stamp funds to be spent out of state. This makes sense for recipients who live close to another state, since they may find less expensive groceries across state lines. What the TV station noticed is that some of the expenditures were spent beyond Missouri’s immediate neighbors.

One of the states the report cited was Hawaii. "In Hawaii, Missouri EBT cardholders spent $2,737 on food in January" 2011, the station reported.

A couple of immediate points:

First, this was money spent on eligible food items -- not, as Gingrich suggested, on transportation to Hawaii.

Second, the amount was trivial. The total amount spent on food stamps by Missouri that month was $3,884,657, meaning that the amount spent in Hawaii amounted to seven hundredths of 1 percent of the total.

Third, there are two reasons why a food stamp eligible Missouri resident might have good reason to be spending money in Hawaii, and neither involves tropical vacations. One is that the recipient is in the military and was recently transferred to a new duty base. Until new benefits are set up in Hawaii, the servicemember would be able to use the Missouri card for benefits. Alternately, the food stamp user could be a migrant worker who spends part of the year in Missouri but works seasonal jobs in Hawaii. (End)

Typical of Republican deceit, deception and outright lies and when it comes to that slimy Newt he wins, hands down. Why anyone would want such a feculent cretin to become the POTUS is beyond rational comprehension.
 
Nice. The values voters support a serial adulterer with a habit of lying his ass off.
 
There are plenty of modern Goebbels to defend the Newtzi Party...some of them post here on JPP.
