What's particularly galling is the sense of entitlement. How about showing some contrition about having made poor choices that results in you getting help?

If the country is broke it can't afford the safety net, see Greece for details.

Yes. It is amazing how they feel they are 'owed' these free entitlements.

A civil war is inevitable on our current trajectory. Two divergent views that are incompatible. One based on redistribution of wealth another based on individual liberty. At some point one group is going to have to exert its will over the other by force. Hopefully it won't happen in our lifetime or things can change.

Yes, but it's not your money. That is the problem that liberals and government have, they seem to think that every dollar belongs to them and the people who earned it are only allowed to keep what the government thinks is "enough". When someone has "too much" they feel it's their duty to confiscate some and give it to someone else.

Man, I'll be glad when wingnuts get back on their meds because I've never seen a meltdown like this. This country has seen the end of segregation, civil rights, world wars, depressions and recessions, crack epedemics but because a black centrist democrat is in the white house, were going to have civil war?Calm down, take your meds and take a cool scooter spin around walmart.

That is a terrible ideology they have. I do not believe in redistribution of the wealth that I created for myself and family. These people who feel they are 'owed' entitlements really need to learn to take responsibility for themselves and learn to work for a living.

For you know it all nothings who didn't read the article this is the most important question posed.......

"What's going to happen when the bank running all the EBT transactions goes belly up?"

This is a very plausable scenario even though you sit around thinking all is well and big government will always be there to wipe your butts.

Electronic Benifit..........access denied...........what will happen?? Your dam right folks will start rioting.

"When y'all gonna come through.......when I'm on my last pill.........when I'm dead"

Yeah maybe you should come through for yourself lady. Probably the hardest day she's had in a while waiting in line to scream about having to wait an extra day for her damn free money. Gimme a break.
