EBT with no limits

[KestrelBike]

If they could track down every single one of those ebt users who took advantage of that error and deport them to, I don't know, some abandoned village in rural Siberia, the US would be immeasurably better off.

“That’s a problem. There are a lot of families who are not going to be able to feed children because the system is being maintenanced,” Colman said. She planned to reach out to local officials. “You don’t want children going hungry tonight because of stupidity,” she said.

How about people plan ahead and get some damned food the day before the shutdown? How about they go visit a soup kitchen if they're really that destitute? How about they get a damned job instead of leeching off everyone else?

Like one guy on the radio asked-don't they have fridges and pantries ? No food in the house to last a few days ?

Exactly! People are people. There is no "us" and "them". These supposed "elitists" are nothing more than thugs, criminals, shoplifters and looters who wear suits and enjoy special privileges. The sooner folks realize this, the better...

so there are records of every one of these purchases right? and they will at minimum be docked against future bennies right?

[jerrymrc]

If they are smart about it all purchases will be deducted from future benefits until the bill is paid. As was said all the transactions were recorded so it is not like the gal that had $700 in her cart and only .29 cents on the card could claim she did not know.

I can hear the howls next month already. After seeing an article about how the poor woman was going to live on a reduction from $800 to like $625 in food stamps I about fell out of my chair. I know the wife and I spend about $150-$175 a month and eat just fine. I know I can feed a family of 5 for no more than $500

Just for fun since I am feeding 4 adults and 2 kids tonight I added it up. Dinner for 6 came out to $6.59 and I splurged. I also buy on sale and stock up when I can.

It was called Liberia.

I wonder if it allowed you to purchase other things too. Have one of those slackers buy all the ammo in the store and then sell it for 75% off in the parking lot. I could use a few cases of 556 for sub $100.

Walmart shoppers cleared shelves and filled shopping carts to overflow after a software snafu removed spending limits from their EBT cards.

Same
Normal
All
F%#*&@
Up

We can expect this to become the norm?

Theft, plain and simple. Everything should be recorded and those that abused it should be disqualified from any further benefits.

What am I saying...?! Like that will ever happen.

Edit: Better?
