“programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone.”..
Might be a great place to start RIGHT NOW instead of waiting. Such action would certainly divert a significant part of the problem.
We’re in this fall to the “slap” of our body hitting the asphalt.
That is a very cogent point. Our small town grocery store will be out of business because I rarely see anyone pay with anything other than food stamps. I see people in line, yukking it up with their cell phone plastered to their ear and tattoos and body piercings galore, not a care in the world. They are buying more and better food than I can afford and they are driving nicer cars than I am. What is really bad is they usually have a wad of EBT cards from different states. When things get bad I will not shed a tear for them as they have left themselves helpless to provide for themselves. They think it is OK to live off the labor of others. When they go hungry it will be justice. I do feel sorry for their kids though.
Our Walmart will also be out of business, such is the number of people paying with EBT cards.
