Sure does look like drug pushers are on the public dole and making big bucks selling drugs . The economy is still in fine shape if people have money for illegal drugs .
FINE WORK ON THE BUSTS YPD ! THANKS !
What is to happen with the food cards found? People need to eat.
Y.P.D did a fine job. As for the food stamp cards jimiohoh, People should not give up which is probably their only means to eat for drugs because that is exactly what they do on an every day basis. The cards will more then likely go back to where they were handed out. It is sick to think these peoplegive their food stamps up which they probably have children at home, and they give them up for drugs. If they do not care if they eat why should any one else care?
