Spite is not a technical problem. It is a political problem.
They are testing. They are demonstrating. They are saying, "Don't call our bluff; we will bring this country down -- there will be rivers of blood. Give us everything. Or else."

I went with my Filipino bud today to a store and there were large white papers that said ‘NO EBT SERVICE TODAY’. Funny that these lazy leeches are actually paying for something honestly..

This free money EBT card, not working....is really sad.
First I snickered...then as I read what people were saying, most of them are hysterical.
They really think they will start to death.
Some are calling on riots and storming grocery stores.
They are so conditioned to dependence on the government they can not think.
(Some people really need temporary help, and I begrudge them nothing), they are not the hysterical ones.
How can a person have no food in the house, do they not plan, think about up coming meals, plan for emergencies.
Their reactions are like feral children, who can’t figure out how to catch a fish.

This situation is really sad. Something as simple as no food stamp access is causing mass panic. What’s going to happen when they get their health insurance bill.

It was happening in Massachusetts today too...announcements were being made in my supermarket over loudspeakers.

I’m sure our governor, Deval “tax ‘em all” Patrick is calling the legislature back for a special session to create a big, fat new tax increase to save “the most vulnerable among us”.

If we think the glitches in the Obamacare website is bad, wait till this
glitch goes on for another week. There will be riots in the streets.

Sounds like Zero is itching to rile up his constitutes to put more pressure on the spineless jellyfish Bohner.

Well, if they stuck with the old Food Stamp Coupons they wouldn’t be in this mess.

The Government gives them a Debit Card to make sure they aren’t embarrassed in front of the People who are really buying their Groceries.

Better yet, make them show up at a Warehouse to get their Rations. They won’t be embarrassed because everyone else showing up there would be in the same boat.

Another problem solved by Kickass Conservative.

I know, I’m a HATER...

I remember Rush talking about this guy on the bridge in New Orleans with his arms upraised, waiting for help after Hurricane Katrina. He couldn’t help himself as the government had always helped him so he knew he didn’t have to even try.

A generation of welfare leeches. Thanks democrats.
