What this means is that should Congress fail to increase the debt ceiling this week, come November there will literally be millions of people in the United States who will have exactly zero dollars transferred to their EBT cards.
What will happen to the nearly 50 million people who depend on these benefits to survive?
Think this past weekend and multiply it across the entirety of the United States of America.
In the State of Utah the immediate effect of the USDA’s contingency plan will be a freeze in benefits for 100,000 people. Richard Phillips, a homeless man who depends on the government’s monthly distributions, warned what would happen next:
"It’s going to cause problems… because then you’re going to come to find out that you’re going to have people starting to steal and do what they have to do to survive."

Will you share? ;-)
Well, I live next to a cornfield. Maybe I should gather up a few hundred cobs.

Finding work requires wanting to work.
Welfare today can pay more than the average household income. No to say that this is the norm, but it is hard to motivate someone to work when they can sit around and take for free. Hell , they don’t even have phone bills anymore... Thanks, uncle!

Ah, yes, my favorite turn of phrase I used some time ago for the first time - “suicide by prepper.”
Greysack (err,rd), says get a baseball bat and head for a prepared prepper - with my Ruger 22LR rife with scope and hollow point ammo, and laser if closer, I figure he is committing suicide by prepper between 50 and 100 yards before he ever gets to me. Now, if I used the Remington high powered rifle with scope, he would commit suicide at 200 or more yards away. Some of you Freepers could help him commit suicide at a farther distance than that.
Some people just really want to die.
This is how it will go down.
Brilliant writer.
I stopped at an Asian Market to pick up some items today. There was a sign at the register that said due to the government shutdown, we are not accepting EBT cards. There was also an armed guard on duty.
did you get any Choco-Pies?
Actually please bring bats. It helps identify targets.

yeah and we didn’t have Obama as President then either.
No other President closed the monuments the way this jackass has, neither were Vets threatened, and elder people being scared to death that they wouldn’t get their Social Security.

Yep. The zombies just don’t understand what they are facing when they meet up with the bitter clingers.
I don't understand the connection.
