ALERT: Government Freezes EBT Funds:
SHTF Plan ^ | 10/15/13 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 10/15/2013 4:40:53 PM PDT by Kartographer

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."

Even if you don't use EBT/Food Stamps the grocery store could become a very dangerous place to be if this happens.

Looks like EBT users are smarter than we thought. Now we know why the wal-marts in luzianne had such a rush this past weekend when the EBT cards turned in to AMEX Black cards with no limits for several hours. They were just stocking up in case things turned to crap on 11/1.

They’ll get hungry and think about looking for work.

Idiots. If they don’t have at least 90 days of rations the Darwinism Effect kicks in.

Schadenfreude on a massive scale.

We never had a Potus that used the power of the bureaucracy as a hammer before.

Yes it wasn’t, but no one wanted TROUBLE! “Bama’ wants trouble. Do you every remember our vets being treated the way they were in Washington during any other shut down? This ain’t a shutdown it’s a coup ‘Bama’ wants trouble so he has an excuse to take over.

Neighbor is getting $260/month. If he so much as asks me for a grain of rice I’m gonna ask why he didn’t hoard food when it was free.

It’s just another Obama anti-whitey campaign. Again and again. He’s very transparent. May he rot in hell.

We've never had a half black POTUS intent on starting a race war.

We have food and lead stored; however, I’m going to “backup” all of our normal pantry items. Extra bags of flour, oats, sugar, etc. Again, these are stored and this is just a pantry backup.

It’s interesting to see on FR that people believe that exceeding the debt limit will cause the government to quit spending money. It will cause them to quit borrowing money, but it won’t cause them to quit spending it. They won’t have as much to spend, but they will certainly be taking care of their Democrat constituents first. They will also reluctantly continue to service the debt.

They'll have to spend their drug money on food.

They will lose weight, eat simpler and healthier foods and thereby make Obamacare a success by having less people needing medical care.
