Seriously though, this is a problem. Keeping the poor quiet is the whole reason we have those programs to begin with .Its a pay off. As long as they have food and shelter they are content . Take it away , and there's going to be problems.5 million starving people are going to cause a great deal of problems.
I often bring an Retarded Person I know shopping.
They were born this way, and are American Citizens.
They have no concept of money. Or nutrition.
They have EBT.
We search together for Day-Old Bread, Generic Cereal, Marked-Down Sausage.
It may sound unappetizing, but it is anything but. They eat very well. For very little money, thanks to me.
I'm no hero - I shop for myself as I shop for them. No big deal.
What I am saying is do not judge every person on EBT by the worthless and lazy.
Do not judge every person on EBT by the scam artists.
Do not judge every person on EBT by those who should not even be here.
Many on EBT are honest Americans, who are doing their very best, and helping them is God's Work.

There is most certainly a small group that 100% deserves EBT. And I have zero issues with tax dollars taking care of them. The problem is the large percentage of EBT recipients that don’t deserve it. Being lazy, having anxiety, being overweight, not being able to keep your legs closed, not taking care of your health...NOT justifiable reasons to receive benefits.
Is it bad if I'm fed up enough with our government that a part of me wants to see what will happen and we should just stay the course with the shutdown?

Id wager the bulk of people in this thread would like to see it, at least for a few days. People would go fucking bonkers.
I do realize some people legit need ebt. I don’t know what percent are gaming the system.

I think you pointed out something important here. I can’t speak for anyone else but I know I’ve seen people checking out with an ebt card and have thought negative things. Thanks for this post. Sometimes my cynicism is too much.
I'll bet a good third are either ILLEGAL ALIENS or so-called ASYLUM SEEKERS.
Like these two ASYLUM SEEKERS (Asylum granted, BTW).
Free College, Free Food, Free Housing, No Jobs.
It's damn easy to forget there are those that deserve assistance when you're faced with Muslim Filth.

I have my fair share of negative thoughts when I see people using EBT cards. But I am pretty good at seeing the difference between those who truly deserve the help, and those playing the system for their lazy ass benefit.

Things will get really bad in the city's. If a mans wife and kids, baby mammas, needs food, Hes going to do whatever he has to get it. For normal people it means getting a job, but for them getting a job means losing their benefits. If you do the math, they are taking a huge loss to go work. Its a fucked up system. If you take that away from them, there will be killings in the streets, people killed for happy meal . and that plays into the democrats hand of how racist the president really is , they will use that against him , if he runs again. The race card will be played hard in every election .

I was at BJ’s wholesale foods, I was at a self checkout lane. There was an Asian couple in front of me dressed to the T’s. They had 3 boxes of King Crab at $70+ dollars each they were scanning. I was a little jealous. Lol
That jealousness turned to fury when I see the lady paying with an EBT card, It was $240. I wanted to start screaming yet, I said nothing. I only had diapers. I paid quickly and ran to my car. The lovely couple weee parked a few cars away. They were driving a Mercedes truck. I started to flip out, in my head.
That was the day I knew we were SO ROYALLY SCREWED in this nation. Doesn’t anyone check on these people.

"Immigrants" have been caught stocking their stores and restaurants with EBT.
We could probably catch them damn easy if there was a FRAUD HOTLINE that anyone bothered to answer.
Their License Plate coupled with a brief description should be plenty for an investigation.
And Legal Pot.
Oh, BTW, I even hear Talk Show Hosts that should know better talk about "THE FIRST OF THE MONTH".
Social Security, SSI, EBT, and I suspect other programs do not renew on the "THE FIRST OF THE MONTH". They have staggered dates.
It is no big deal, but when a Talk Show Host talks that way it makes them sound ill-informed.

I’ll put it to you this way, I prep, I am by no means hardcore as I can’t afford it, but I’d do my best. There are people I’d throw some canned goods toward, maybe a bag of rice, and people I’d tell to get lost real quick.
The problem with EBT is there is no discretion, and because of that, it’s abused. Money is taken from your paycheck, whether you like it or not, and given to some entitled asshat.
I’d gladly donate food and sheltered to well-intentioned people. But EBT needs serious reform.

No. DoD and the branches are being paid! Including coast guard (which they lost their pay for a short period of time but they got it back)

Why is it that in the second picture in that article the store window's left most sign is exactly what I'd expect to see next to one about accepting EBT?
