EBT Card Outage? 8 Days Into June And Many Americans Are Still Waiting For Food Stamp Money
Zero Hedge ^ | June 9, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Widespread reports continue to pour in from all over the nation of “glitches” with the food stamp system. It is eight days into the month and large numbers of people still have not received their benefits, and in other instances it is being reported that EBT cards are simply not working correctly. So what in the world is going on here? On downdetector.com there are scores of reports of problems with the EBT system from people all over the nation. Could this simply be another example of government incompetence, or is something else at work here?

I had heard some rumblings about this over the past few days, but I had not really taken them seriously until I read an article from highly respected author Ray Gano…

It interesting over the weekend I got several emails telling me about cell phones being down, internet being down, and get this, EBT cards not working and having no money associated to them.

This is a concern because when the US Government has payment failures, then there is possibly something happening that the press is not telling you about.

Now, we know that computers have problems and that states, counties and cities run on computers. But what is interesting is that since the beginning of 2016, The US government has had over 2,700 reports on downdetector.com showing that they have been late loading the money onto these EBT cards.

Folks, we are now going on 8 days where the Government has not paid the EBT payments so that people have food.

So I went over to downdetector.com myself, and I was stunned to see that reports of EBT outages continue to pour in every hour.

did the car washes close down? can make 6 or 7 an hour there.

cabs shut down? can make the same there.

no jobs in all kinds of restaurants in these neighborhoods?

my only concern is seniors and disabled with no family.

I’ll bet booze and drug sales are really taking a hit.

What will happen when a million or so muzzies are here and using EBT cards for their halal meat, and the cards stop working? They are in the habit of using anger as a response to everything that goes wrong. They will get angry and use that as an excuse to burn and destroy as they always do.

We’ve known for years that Hussein was going to make this a difficult summer.

Why else do you think Bernie Sanders is at the White House today? To let him in on the planning to take down Clinton and work with the leftist revolution.

And Many Americans Are Still Waiting For Food Stamp Money

Oh really? I pay for my food with money from something called a paycheck, that I get from something else called a job.

It's a dry run for November ... that's when we'll use this tactic to get the Democrat base to turn out in droves!

AWWWWWWWWWWW!

50,000,000 parasites on the dole, at least 80% of whom are invalid or mentally incompetent?
I don't think so....

Poor babies will have to actually do some sort of work, and the sale of canes and walkers will plummet...

baraq is bringing in huge numbers of dependents and gets them used to being taken care of them. They he pulls the rug out from under them. Insta Riot.

What does he care, this isn’t his country.

I guess the uniparty and their media think they won’t be affected by all this. They are going to be in for a nasty surprise.
