“cuz lock your doors load your guns they cut off ebt cards nationwide” - Twitter
They voted for Obama for the free stuff. Now the free stuff isn’t happening. So they riot.
Today, the Electronic Benefits Transfer system (electronic food stamps debit card) went down in several states due to a computer glitch, and Obama voters are going nuts on Twitter, threatening mass rioting. This is free government money gone bad and exactly what’s wrong with our country.
According to WoodTV (NBC 8),
NBC News reports several states were affected by the glitch. The USDA released a statement saying:“EBT cards in a number of states have temporarily stopped working today due to a technical issue that the vendor that serves these states is experiencing. The vendor is working to fix this issue and EBT cards will work again once it is resolved. This issue is not related to the government shutdown.”
Pat Dollard reports, from TWITCHY,

You can easily buy EBT cards at a big discount almost anywhere. People sell them and then report them lost. I could probably buy at least 50 tomorrow if I wanted to.
for what it’s worth, the EBT program run in 17 states is run by our friends at Xerox Corp - who state they are experiencing ‘connectivity issues.’ (damn Al Gore! /s)
The EBT recipients will now start voting democrat.
Oh, wait they already DO.
Now they'll start voting DOUBLE democrat!
Oh, wait they already do.
Maybe they'll start voting for democrats THREE times.
So we'll get Charles Rangel that is three times as corrupt.
And Rangel delivers on his promises. He'll now steal three times as much, just to show those republican SOBs.
It’s all very scary.
Below the “low-information” voter is the “zero-information” voter. Both groups are democrat controlled.
Of course. The Dems rely on stupid people and as we know, keeping them stupid.
As people's stomachs growl ... Obama's fault!
“A transaction of that sort would require a corrupt retailer scanning the wrong barcode or something like that. They wouldn’t get away with doing that for very long.”
Hell, EVERY inner-city denizen in the handout class knows of a convenience store (or fifty) that will happily take EBT’s for booze, cigs, and everything else.
They just “mistakenly” hit the wrong key, or as I have seen personally, “buy” stuff on the card, then immediately return it for cash, minus a “restocking fee”.
And TANF is just free handout money, that comes on the same card (in most places).
You can easily buy EBT cards at a big discount almost anywhere. People sell them and then report them lost. I could probably buy at least 50 tomorrow if I wanted to.
If they’re reported stolen, they should be voided.
How much would you have to pay for an EBT card?
I wouldn’t have a clue where to go to buy one.
Why would I give a 'Rats ass about a four-letter gubmint acronym, when the three-letter ones are scary enough?
People are so naive. Stamps were 50c on the dollar.
This stupid card buys real food which is sold @ 50c on the dollar.
Thanks a lot President “I will not seek” for a bunch of nothing.
Phhhtttt!
“This stupid card buys real food which is sold @ 50c on the dollar.”
Which I have seen happen, numerous times. Local Inner-city bars are big on this trade. Bring in $20 worth of hamburger, get $10 worth of drinks.
WTF? For not being able to spend my money for a couple of hours?
If you have cash the thieves from the market bring in 20lbs worth of ribeyes.
20 bucks walks.
It’s typically 40-50 cents on the dollar. I got this great info from when I had to attend mandatory classes on how to find a job after being laid off and filing for unemployment.
They can do it with the cash assistance side of the ebt.
Thinking this “glitch” is a deliberate test run to gauge the reaction.
Exactly.
