USDA

Helter Skelter.

So, the full on Zombie Apocalypse is now scheduled?

[OB1kNOb]

CWII to start immediately after the EBT cars stop working. We just got a prevue of it last week in Louisiana.

[Baseballguy]

What does this mean for my taxes. Do I get a break!

I guess the EBT shutdown over the weekend was a demonstration of what can be expected to happen.

[Little Ray]

Is this related to the Farm Bill where they reduced the increase (aka “cut” in DCese) in food stamp funds?

[WVKayaker]

Hold on, it's gonna get bumpy!

[lacrew]

No, this was being funded by the $1 trillion annual infusion of invented money into the economy. So no tax savings.

Utah families on food stamps could be cut off soon

http://fox13now.com/2013/10/14/utah-families-on-food-stamps-could-be-cut-off-soon/

States across the country are being told to stop the supplemental nutrition assistance program for the month of November, pending further notice.

That’s according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fox 13 obtained a copy from the Crossroads Urban Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Crossroads says if Utah families don’t get food stamps, they’ll turn to the local food pantries, which are already strapped due to the government shutdown. Homeless people Fox 13 talked to, some who use SNAP, say losing food stamps would mean going hungry.

If this is true, I better go shopping today.

[Kartographer]

Preppers’ PING!!

[Malichi]

Bring it on!

Bullets and Beans people!!!

[MrB]

Yep...

I guess I better go get another carry weapon...

[Viennacon]

I can see several urban neighborhoods becoming warzones.

[fwdude]

Every EBT piglet that I’ve ever seen could stand to go a few months without their slop. Obese, every one.

You’ll be able to spot the Blue States by just following the smoke plumes...

Threat of course, aimed at doing to the House what the threat of a global economic collapse did to Bush in 2007.

Same as your local school board does whenever the teachers union demands more money - threaten to cut high school football and band.

Thuggery.

Nice of them to give us notice..(((ping)))

[TADSLOS]

Sooner than later.

[repentant_pundit]

Where did that photocopied letter come from ?

“USDA” with no link is not exactly a source.

[RightGeek]

What exactly is the reason for the cutoff? None of the bureaucratese in that letter mentions that.

[cuban leaf]

I’m going to assume this is a joke. It’s like seeing a letter telling us a mile wide meteor is going to crash into the earth next month. It has to be a joke.

[Lancey Howard]

Good. Shut it down. The moocher base of the Democrat party will get so pissed they’ll never vote Republican again.

[cripplecreek]

Sorry but I’m going to need an actual link before falling for this one.

[MrB]

On another thread a Utah reporter said the same thing - these letters are going out to the states.

[TurboZamboni]

[Paine in the Neck]

Straight from Kinko's? Fake but accurate®?

[Arrowhead1952]

Get ready...

[repentant_pundit]

What is that supposed to mean ?

[TigerClaws]

Sorry but the story has been sourced already here out of Utah.

The “^” is an arrow pointing up to what is above the line. It means I agree with the comment above the line in a foundational way and am using my post to amplify it.

It’s pretty commonly used these days all over the internet.

[TigerClaws]

Thanks for sourcing the story.

And here’s the original posting of the letter by a local food bank:

“Every EBT piglet that I’ve ever seen could stand to go a few months without their slop. Obese, every one.”

The only thin ones are the ones whacked out on Meth or crack, who trade EBT cards and purchases for drugs.

[cuban leaf]

My wife and I were looking at getting a couple of pistols tomorrow, and they had a sweet 30-06 with a scope for under 350. Hmmmm.

[fatima]

If they get the funding are they still going to shut it down?

[repentant_pundit]

In that case, thanks for your support !

[svcw]

Glad to read the USDA is considered non essential, when the government “reopens” fire all of them

[randita]

The temporary EBT shutdown and ensuing chaos followed by the release of this letter certainly raise suspicions of a coordinated attack.

[Hardraade]

Does that mean they won’t ship containers of EBT resources to Kenya anymore?

Aunt Satana isn’t gonna be pleased.

[Lazamataz]

Confirmed.

[Hieronymus]

I have no idea what “that” is supposed to mean, and would be content to know what “^^this^^” means, but I can tell you that who is on first.

[Uncle Chip]

Where’s the link or is this a hoax??

[thorvaldr]

Looks like I’m cancelling my trip to Detroit. Maybe I’ll go to Baltimore instead.

[TigerClaws]

So America ‘feels the pain’ of the shutdown obviously.

They have money for barricades and riot cops but not one cop to watch people visit memorials?

It’s all a staged pinch so the MSM can direct anger to the GOP and distract people from how horrible Obamacare is.

[Night Hides Not]

“USDA” with no link is not exactly a source.

The date stamped on the letter looks very suspect. If it was an official document, the date would have been typed on the letter.

[Arrowhead1952]

I don’t know what the answer is to that question.
