TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Food stamp recipients in Florida will get their February benefits early due to the partial government shutdown.

The Florida Department of Children and Families made the announcement Monday, saying eligible recipients will receive their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for February on Jan. 20.

As a result, DCF said there will not be any additional deposits in the month of February.

Of course, NPR plays an important role in their propaganda machine.

If the seepage doesn’t get into your water supply, could you build some above ground garden boxes, or planters, and grow on a smaller scale? Maybe some hanging planters too?

Pelosi and Schumer -— “Curses! Foiled again!” Too bad the other big welfare states are mostly governed by democrats. There are now only 28 states with Republican governors. Democrats gained 7 governors.

And then they’ll be b*tching because they ran out of food before their next deposit...guaranteed.

No doubt. EVERY food stamp recipient I’ve ever dealt with was out of food and stamps before they were out of month, every time. But they ate great for the first two weeks upon getting their next allotment.

Just watch, they will be crying because they got paid too early and ran out of food early.

Yes, exactly! 11th_VA’s point, post 1.

Just burns me up.

So true. They spend them all and then start whining when no further funds are available in Feb.

On the other hand, the EBTrs won’t be rioting and the folks who work for the government and won’t get paid will be seeing all those Gimmees getting the monies.

LOL There is delicious irony here.

The State of WA is doing the same thing.

The Memphis SNAP office is experiencing long lines and mayhem. I predict the race of professional victims that live in that area will use this as a reason to riot as its been since 1978 since the inhabitants rioted to get new TV’s and products.

You mean like WHOLE FOODS, aka WHOLE PAYCHECK?
They are the biggest scammers to come down the pike with their ORGANIC labeling on items to spike the prices by up to 400%. BTW how many times have they been sued now for ripping off the customers? The last count I had was about 120.
