The Coming Food Stamp Riots
It may not happen this month, or even this year, but food stamp riots are coming to America. In fact, we got a small preview of the coming food stamp riots this past weekend when a “temporary system failure” caused food stamp cards to stop working in 17 U.S. states. Within hours, there were “mini-riots” at Wal-Marts and other retailers that rely heavily on food stamp users. So what would happen if food stamp benefits were cut off or reduced for an extended period of time? As you will see below, if Congress had not pushed through a “deal”, the USDA would have started cutting off food stamp benefits on November 1st. Considering the fact that 47 million Americans are on food stamps and more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government, that could have sparked massive rioting. So the good news is that the coming food stamp riots will probably not happen in November. The bad news is that the “deal” in Congress only delays the political fighting until after Christmas. In just a few months we will be dealing with a potential “government shutdown” and a debt ceiling deadline once again.
We are living on borrowed time that has been purchased by stealing money from future generations. We are literally destroying the future in order to make the present more palatable. But whether it is this year, or next year or the year after that, at some point we are going to experience the pain that results from decades of incredibly foolish decisions.

Mystery... that statement is SO true. For a long time, I have been saying the same thing. Mess with the food. Make folks hungry? Get ready reap the whirlwind of a pissed-off society that will do anything to feed.

I watched a movie tonight called Colony, emphasizing this very thing, hunger, and what hunger will cause. I hope it does not come to this end but it looks just like it may. To many people without work or the knowledge to feed the ones they love or care for, this is what drives the engine of insanity.
Hunger, will be the feather that tips the scale.

It would be best for people to have jobs. Things are messed up when the basic work=food equation is not in force. I'm ambivalent about food stamps. People that need them need them, but i notice in cheap stores where I often shop the food stamp (credit card) people buy tons of meat and other stuff that I wouldn't because of I have a habit of cheapness. It's not fair to people who work hard and scrimp to make ends meet at low wages. It's disgusting that banks administer foodstamps and so are taking a cut. Get rid of the parasites: big banks, insurance companies, big medicine and pharma, big agriculture, etc., then there will be plenty of money. GET RID OF MONSANTO so people can have health. Here's some good news on that front: http://www.blacklistednews.com/Mexico_Bans_GMO_Corn%2C_Effective_Im...
