So in Louisiana, the food stamps card system (is it really stamps if theres no actual stamps?) went screwy at Wal-Mart, basically giving people unlimited amount of money to purchase food. For about two hours, people loaded upwards of eight shopping carts with groceries. Its tempting to look down on people who tried to essentially exploit the system, but two things give pause: First, were talking about people whore so poor they need government assistance to feed themselves trying to acquire... more food. Second, in terms of sheer dollars, this pales in comparison to exploits like Goldman Sachs aluminum warehouse shenanigans (nytimes/2013/07/21/business/a-shuffle-of-aluminum-but-to-banks-pure-gold.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0).
