Michigan changes food stamp rules tied to car's value

[longnecker]

In an about-face, Michigan says it will provide food stamps to applicants who own a car worth more than $15,000, the Associated Press reports. The change means needy residents can keep two cars to get to work, school and job interviews.

Last month the state Department of Human Services Director announced that applicants with liquid assets of more than $5,000 and a vehicle worth more than $15,000 would not be eligible for food stamps.

Starting Jan. 1, applicants can exempt one vehicle, and a second can't be worth more than $15,000. That copies Texas policy.

I saw a sign at a local gas station last month that said they were now accepting food stamp cards. That is so freaking wrong IMO. What the hell kind of "nutritious" food can you get at a damn gas station????? Really??? Makes me so glad I pay taxes.....

Many years ago(almost in another lifetime) I made deliveries to innercity supermarkets in Phila. On food stamp days I saw them taking food that I couldn't afford on my budget.
