No Food Stamps? (drugs, Brown, revolution, economy)

[Larry Caldwell]

Word is that nobody in Oregon is getting EBT (food stamps). Of course the Department of Agriculture is closed, as are local offices, so there is nobody to ask if it's a glitch. If it's a glitch, there's nobody to fix it.

National news says the program is funded through the end of January, but word on the street says it's not happening.

Are poor people in other states faced with the same problem?

Yes. The ripple effect is only going to get bigger the longer the government is down.

And? Maybe it'll help people become self reliant and quit the tit.

Or it will completely buckle the knees of our economy if it goes on too long whether your are on food stamps or not. Your response is irrational.

Great idea. Every society is three meals away from a revolution. Next time maybe they'll burn down the upper class neighborhoods.

Many conservatives are probably fine with an economic meltdown as long as the people they hate (brown people, immigrants, gays, non-Christians) suffer. They are even willing to suffer themselves as long as they can make the people they hate suffer.

I heard on the news that it's funded for January,, but some stores are having trouble accepting the EBT cards for payments and the transactions are not going thru, so they can't use it to buy food.

Get a grip. Don’t believe your wild imagination.
