I don’t remember the exact details, but what comes to mind was a House vote where Boehner was not going along with Dem wishes.

Then, mysteriously, there was a problem with EBT in his district and there were people in the street yelling and TV cameras there to show the people yelling.

Boehner changed his mind and the vote went the D way and the EBT cards got turned back on.

Can anyone help with details?

My wife works for Wal-Mart...as a CSR...

The government has split the money allocation to the 1st and 15th each month...

The LAST thing the government will cut is welfare entitlements...

when granny and the vets stop receiving their checks...

you know the game is over...

I’ll have to repeat my “adult school” experience about a middle aged couple (both on total welfare and “permanent” disability) who drove several hundred miles in a gas guzzler to a casino, spent all their money and ran out of gas (couldn’t afford to fix their lap top...) ?

I'm going to be somewhat sympathetic here. There are people who actually depend on food stamps. For families in many parts of the country, school is out for the summer. Those families are no longer getting those free lunches and breakfasts in school for their children.

Do I think the system stinks, that people are dependent on handouts instead of doing something for what they're given? Of course. But that doesn't change what happened, and kids just might be going hungry.

If government employees will steal from Veterans, it’s only one more tiny step to steal from everyone else.

Democrats are theoretically OK with stealing from the taxpayers, but it really ticks them off when the government employees start stealing from them.

A search on Google News shows nothing. I don’t think this is a very widespread problem, or the MSM would be writing about it.

Some have taken the unprecedented step of considering applying for jobs.

I am absolutely convinced that we’ve gotten to a point where the average gibmesdat does not know where food comes from (other than the store).

50 million EBT cards going down will be very bad, BUT if you add in debit/credit cards to the mix I daresay most of working Americans will be in serious trouble also.

And there will be no difference between EBT card holders and Debit/Credit card holders. Neither will be able to get food. So the stores will be hit hard from people with cash at first then then the fecal matter will strike the oscillating portion of the air movement device and it's Katie-bar-the-door.

I’m sure he will pin the blame on Bush or Trump.
