EBT system down across much of the country

Post by USN_Hokie »

I'm surprised this hasn't been covered more in the news. Appears there was a fire or something in the building which holds the servers used to process the state EBT systems.

It's all over the ghetto twitter feeds. They think Armageddon is here, thanks to sequestration and the 17% shutdown. Obama phones were ringing throughout the night.

Yeah, they were twittering about rioting on their expensive smartphones as they walked out to their tricked out lexus'.

It's not to my knowledge, though I wish it was.

The horrors of our poor, pay the cable bill with HBO and eat ham sandwiches or not pay the cable bill and eat steak. Bill Gates doesn't suffer like this! No Justice, No Peace!

Mass starvations coming. Bodies piled high in the streets.

Like we had back in '08 before the food stamp budget increased by 50%.

I saw a person buying coffee creamer with their EBT card today. The country needs to go back to issuing government cheese, and beans and rice. No Taxpayer should have to support the coffee habit of another.

Amen. Or go back to neighbor helping neighbor instead of being taxed to death by an incompetent and disastrous government. Look at how government policies have wrecked so many homes so that children don't even know who their dad is. Or cases like Adrian Peterson, who have random women showing up with kids saying they're his kids. No society can withstand such a destruction of family and community bonds. The Marxist want us as strangers so that we'll report the activities of stranger neighbors, not have anyone to turn to when we need help except for them.

The "moderates" can laugh at calling the regime Marxists, but look what happened today. They have riot gear out AGAINST our veterans and military. Just let that sink in for a moment, the government is hostile towards the people that put their lives in harm way to fight fascism, communism, and radical Islam. These are the people Obama and left stand against. Does that not tell you all you need to know?

If not, look at how Obama has now rejected the house's surrender because it wasn't a total surrender and didn't undo the existing law of sequestration. So the dictator has rejected it and is looking towards McCain and Graham to show us the proper way to capitulate.

Or look at the train wreck that Obamacare is. The technology doesn't even work, it's destroying full time jobs, and creating unemployment. Who would want to keep such disastrous policies in place? Someone interested in the welfare of this nation or someone looking to put himself in charge? Reid had an accident of speaking the truth last week when he said he doesn't care about helping kids with cancer. That's the unvarnished truth about Obama and the left, they don't care about you. They care about being in charge and advancing Marxism. Like all Marxist nations, it devolves into a form of dictatorship because few people really want it. So they have to strong arm or fool the majority into supporting/being to intimidated to speak out against their control.
