The Issue: Food bought in NYC with food stamps and re-sold on the black market in the Dominican Republic.

***

There are many serious and disturbing scandals exposed by The Post’s writers (“Food (Stamp) Fight,” Editorial, July 28).

The least of these is the use of food stamps by the underprivileged to buy food staples and pay to ship them to the less fortunate in the Caribbean. I cannot fault them for helping their family members abroad.

Additionally, the food-stamp program seems to be a better way to help farmers than using expensive and politically arranged farm subsidies.

Abuses, including the sale or illegal obtaining of food stamps, must be monitored and penalized.

The Post’s articles on welfare fraud are laughable because they are being reported as some kind of revelation.

Welfare fraud is alive and well in New York City and the US. The media do not make an issue of it because of the liberal ideology that clouds how the news is reported. The media are not objective and report stories that support the reporter or the news organization’s viewpoints over objective facts.

I hope that some who read the story will become upset enough knowing that, while far too many Americans are going hungry, taxpayer money is being used to support foreigners, while our politicians on the left keep spending and running up our debt while proposing higher taxes.

Liberalism has run amok and needs to be reigned in before we find ourselves in the same position as Greece. Then we can read all the media reports questioning how we got there and who is to blame, but never pointing a finger at ourselves.

Lock up all those caught sending taxpayer-funded food overseas.

Cut all foreign aid to the Caribbean until this practice stops. Since when do we have to support other countries with a domestic food program?

We find people cheating the system who do not care that all Americans have to pay for it.
