[quote:Hawkesbay:MV8yMzY3NzgxXzQwNTI3NDUzXzU4NEFBNDJG] [quote:Ddraig:MV8yMzY3NzgxXzQwNDk0ODU2XzhGMDNFNDlF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 47579511:MV8yMzY3NzgxXzQwNDk0ODEzXzlCMDVENTE1] How am I going to pay for my dry cleaning, buy my cigarettes and beer? [/quote] With real money like they always do. EBT doesn't pay for that stuff. [/quote] Au contraire. I know first hand from law enforcement officials that in one mid-size town in Oregon there is one convenience store that sells beer, wine, and cigarettes through EBT. When the local police set up surveillance and caught them in the act, they called the Department of Agriculture, which oversees the program. They were told that they had no enforcement mechanisms in place, and that there was nothing they could or would do about it. So expect the tobacco and alcohol lobbies to be burring up the private phone lines to the congress critters that they own...I'm pretty sure the dry cleaning lobby only rents theirs. [/quote]

As of right now they don't have any idea how to fund it if the government shuts down. Will probably know more tomorrow or Monday and will update further.
Sorry to be cryptic but I can't say anything more at the moment, but Iwork for an agency that handles ebt cards.
