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."

You miss the point they will not spend if it will cause trouble they want trouble. Look at how they are spending now selecting those things which will cause the most trouble. They want chaos and confusion.
It is certainly fair to say hat we've never had a President quite like this one.
Forget the grocery store, if the EBT cards stop, I’ll be going to the gun store and buying more ammo. Me and millions others no doubt.
Let’s take the issue away from Obama and mobilize churchs and other private charities. There are more options than just government money or starvation/rioting.
Still a lot of discussion if this is a real or fake letter. I’m just going to file it in my alert file and keep a close monitoring to the news. Next payday I’ll probably add to the pantry, more if it appears that the letter is real. Unfortunately I can no longer put it past this president / administration to do something this unreal.
Doesn’t work that way. Almost every revolt or revolution that is lasting was caused by a food shortage.
The solution is not to cut off EBT, the solution is to grow the economy so that those that are able to work will find work and come off of EBT.
Freeze It.
Deal with it Losers. Obama can’t save you forever.
Good thing our local man store allows CC and has a grocery section.
I normally shop there. Walmart might cost a little less, but I am safer at the man store.
I was just thinking that, and also filling the grill propane tanks.
Only $260? Seems.....low
$260 a month? For how many people?
If only that were true, but sadly they will riot and demand that you gibsmedat.
You mean non existent work?
Thing is, these people are hardly entrepreneurs, if this story is true, this could be a bit "messy"
Attack of the EBT Zombies: coming November 1.
Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!
it irritates me to no end to see these people 20-30 yrs younger than I on "disability"....
I'm just not caring about the money grabbers except where it affects me....
Unfortunately we are talking about a group of people who’ve been on welfare for multiple generations. They will not get jobs even if good jobs are to be had.
>>Almost every revolt or revolution that is lasting was caused by a food shortage.
I don’t see the down side.
