Obama is using the American people as a pawn in his game to get what he wants.
He is having EBT shut down immediately in November, which poses the threat of riots, amongst other things.
If this doesn’t raise alarm with you about this man’s true feelings about the American people, nothing will!
It seems Obama is trying to be hated!

There is an abundance of ignorance. No wonder this country is going to hell.
This isn’t a complete irradiation of the program. Part of the recovery act in 2009 included a bump in amounts to SNAP. For a family of 4 we’re talking about $35 a month extra. This was always supposed to end in November of 2013 all along. “Obama Ends Foodstamps Programs” isn’t what is happening. The extra amount was enacted in 2009 with an end date of 11/2013. If you’re unhappy about that still fine but if you’re going to be outraged at least know the truth about it.
In other words, people should not be getting $600/month in food stamps because they don’t want to work, or keep having kids that the rest of us tax payers are providing for through WIC, state-provided healthcare, food stamps, etc. Then they turn around and get thousands of dollars in income tax refund. In all honesty, that refund should go back to the state they have gotten aid from!!
Oh good lord. The only thing that’s happening with food stamps is that the temporary increases in food benefits are ending. People are going to lose a small amount of their benefits. That’s it. I’m always amazed at how blindly some people follow posts like these. It’s fear mongering people. If you actually bother to read their source, its pretty clearly related to the government shut down. It also doesn’t say to do it, it asks states to hold off giving food stamps for the next month that early, due to the financial problems with the shutdown. It’s up to individual states, in the case of a shutdown, to pay or not pay food benefits and when to pay those benefits. All this is is a general letter suggesting the states hold off paying temporarily-perhaps, because when the states pay, they use their surplus funds and by the time November rolls around, we will quite possibly be out of the shutdown. It’s not rocket science.
To all the liberals reading this: keep in mind, conservatives brains actually work differently from our own. They’re hardwired to protect themselves rather than the people, they have a difficult time accepting changed (they fear it), and as part of that, they rarely change their views. Arguing with the conservative masses is pretty pointless, because they refuse to see things differently. Just remember, it’s not entirely their fault. Biology is a b****.
I used to work at a grocery store u people on EBT/SNAP eat better than me and refuse to use coupons. Yet u can always afford your Booze and Cigarettes. All u get is junk food. I see u going out with crab legs, lobster tails pre-made birthday cakes for your kids instead of making them yourselves cheaper. Lots of candy, chips. Then I see u with your Gucci handbags cellphones, expensive cars. Some of you don’t even try to find a job. You just keep having kids and we keep paying for u. We are sick of it. Birth control is free or cheap if u go for help. Stop buying unecessary things. Not everyone has to have a cellphone with all the bells and whistles. Take a job @ McDonalds Wendys etc. Do something get off your A$$$$. Any job is better than nothing.Get two if u have to.
I feel sorry for the people that do need the help, but not for the ones who don’t. And towards the nasty comments, I understand i work in retail and see the abuse of that card, but i also see the good uses of the card. I’m not here to judge, but some of you need to just cool it and not take it so personal most of these comments are in general of what people see daily with the usage of the snap card, and do you all think you need to tell the whole world your living situations? If your not cheating the system then no need to rant. My opinion.
I work my behind off as a single mom. I have for the last 18 years but still have to get a bit of help for food after the bills are paid. I pay my taxes every year so that money technically belongs to me anyway. I never see my kids due to long hours and working weekends but they are taken care of.
Are you people really so gullible that you will simply believe anything you see? I mean REALLY? For the love of god…think for yourself. Do you really think ANYONE would just pull the plug on SNAP. SHeesh….Does the lack of information or evidence not at least make you second guess that…hmmm…maybe this is not the truth? The only cut being done to the SNAP program was the Legislation that Bush pushed through to temporarily increase SNAP benefits in order to appease the public who has already turned against him. The extra subsidy has always been set to expire next month. THIS IS NOTHING NEW. It was written into the bill by Bush. PLease quit dumbing people down and know what the hell you are talking about before opening your mouth.
The govt is reopened so this is now irrevelant
Cracks me up that the majority that voted to keep him in office are the ones being hurt the most.
