Per Baltimore Radio (WCBM), Food Stamp System is Down
WCBM Caller ^ | October 10, 2013 aprox 12:40 pm

Posted on 10/12/2013 10:18:18 AM PDT by mason-dixon

On the Chuck Brooks Law-Call hour, 12:00-1:00 pm, Saturday October 10, on the Baltimore station WCBM, two separate callers stated that the "Food Stamp System" was not working at several Baltimore grocery stores. The second caller mentioned that folks in the store were blaming Republicans.

I cannot personally confirm these reports. Are other Freepers noticing this in their locations?

You have no clue what you’re saying.

Think about it .. if these people cannot get their food, where do you think they’ll go to find it .. places where food is stored .. hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

Believe me .. this is not a good thing.

Not necessarily .. it’s Saturday - nobody gets up early.

It’s only 3 pm on the east coast .. lots of time left for riots - after it turns dark.

Obama playing politics with Food Stamps...he wants the people in the street. Foodstamps are funded through 2014 because of the money sucking recovery act..any shutdown is on the States and Politics..simple as that.

Well, as I said, they’re better off continuing to steal them and hold “fake” elections like other dictatorships do than cut them off altogether. That’s what I predict we’ll see more of. Suspension has been discussed here for years, beginning with Clintoon. Of course, I don’t know that much of anything would surprise us with the current asshat administration.

Came back from Wal~Mart, saw several overflowing carts that had been abandoned due to EBT rejections. As we were leaving the word was EBT was ok but it had to be used in $50.00 buys. So a $100.00 purchase would have to be done in two seperate transactions. This is csvset reporting live from Va. Beach.

sounds like the system has been “sabotaged’ to speed up negotiations with barricade obama because yes, the takers will blame the Republican if their ebt don’t work
