??? Government Freezes EBT Funds: Orders States to Withhold Transfers to Food Stamp Recipients
FLASHBACK: Food Stamp President Obama Wants You on Food Stamps
Mac Slavo
This weekend America witnessed a limited crash in the computer systems that manage electronic benefit transfers across the country. Within hours of the crash panicked food stamp recipients who were left with no way to feed their families rushed grocery store shelves to obtain everything they could while the system was down.
The outage lasted less than a day, but it proved what many already knew, that America had become a nation so dependent on government subsidies that any glitch in the system could lead to total pandemonium.
But if you thought that isolated incident was bad, imagine what could happen next month.
We say next month because the USDA, which oversees the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), has just issued an order to SNAP agency directors calling for their respective States to implement an emergency contingency program because of government funding issues. In a letter obtained by the Crossroads Urban Center food pantry, the USDA is directing state agencies to, “delay their November issuance files and delay transmission to State Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendors until further notice.”
What this means is that should Congress fail to increase the debt ceiling this week, come November there will literally be millions of people in the United States who will have exactly zero dollars transferred to their EBT cards.
What will happen to the nearly 50 million people who depend on these benefits to survive?

So what happened? Did foodstamps get cut-off of did the limits get removed? I see conflicting news stories in both MSM and Alt.Media.
Some say the system crashed and they rushed in panic to get what they could.
Others say the system crashed and allowed them to buy 8-10 grocery carts worth of stuff with no limits on their cards.

EBT and food stamps are cheese on a trap. It is not wise to take without earning. Healthy people abusing the assistance programs need to work to earn a living, for their own preservation as awake and alert organisms.The tax paying guy in the ditch with the job and the shovel deserves more consideration and respect. The Wall Street looters should be intermingling with the welfare cheats in the same FEMA camps. Give them jail house weapons. Issue cattle prods to the guards. Be flexible.

I always said if they mess with the food... they're toast. A hungry mob is the quickest way to unravel a peaceful society.

It all seems to be coming to a head? We shall see. I just hope the Fukushima plant does not crumble from the typhoon.
