EBT down in NY...anyone else? (& PA & NJ)

Disabled war vets also get disability... not to mention free health care. It isn't deduction from their earnings if they choose to work, either. Just thought you needed to know that.

That's right. I made calls. It isn't a national problem. It seems to be affecting areas hit by SANDY.

Same argument could be made for nObamacare - 'It should be a matter of CHOICE... not something shoved down someone's throat 'cause you resent them being supported by your tax dollars.'

Apparently people don't realize how bad our country is. I keep seeing people call others names and tell them to get a job. Just for some info....I was the manager of an optical store, I made 22 an hour plus benefits, when I was laid off cause the business was being sold and there was no place for me. I have been unemployed now for 3 months, had to move to my inlaws to not have bills. They are a blessing if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have internet to search for work.(was going to library before moving) I have had a job since I was 16(now 33) and have paid plenty of taxes to get a little assistance. I have chosen not to get welfare but do receive food. When your life has fallen apart and you can't buy cloths, pay rent or utilities, gas for car or diapers it really a true blessing for me to be able to cook a meal for my child. I find it funny people say get a job, I have tried (352 application to be exact) yes I keep track. I. Have applied for everything McDonald's, pizza hut and gas stations. I finally will be going to an interview tomorrow (cracker barrel ) it is very hard and disheartening to be in this situation. So to all who name call and insult....I pray this never happens to you or your family....noone should go through this....ever! Don't assume you know a persons circumstance. It. Was funny someone tried insulting me, he was a waiter who makes less then minimum wage and only reports enough tips to make minimum wage, he was living with his parents still and has most likely paid less taxes in his whole life then I did in 5 years of my life. There is already enough selfishness and greed in this country why can't people see what it is doing to us. Believe me I know there are people who suck off the system but there is no reason to judge all who need. Or call complete strangers names, its just not....polite.

Working 56 hours a week, I'll gross about $33k, if you are jealous of that then you should get some EBT, (family of 6) FYI I am not taking YOUR money, I have parents and grandparents who have been fleeced of my birthright at the point of a sword for decades, nay, a century, So I am taking back MY money. If you want to have the debate about a corrupt federal judiciary using case law to support the unconstitutional "voluntary" income tax we can have that debate as well. I am well studied in that subject.

Not EVEN in the same ballpark... but thanks for ur input.

Pisses me off that the ones who take advantage mak it so hard on those who truly need help. Like my grandma who has to contend with young, able-bodied sperm-vessels pushing her out of the way in line to pay for her $28 worth of groceries because they have 2-3 huge cart fulls of shrimp and crablegs...simply disgusting. I wish it does go to chaos my family is armed and ready, locked and loaded with enough to survive with for weeks.

How many times do I have to post that it is NOT my internet? Sheesh! I have put in many, many years of work. This is the last post I will make defending myself.

I never thought I would be in this position, hope you never are.

Test Run I'll bet.

They wanted to see how long before a riot would start.

Family of 6 - that explains it. Not the kids fault your couldn't keep your pecker in your pants or she couldn't keep her legs closed. Oh no.. always someone elses fault.

33k take home with 6 kids. Sounds like a welfare scam which Clinton tackled in the 90's.

Exactly the same ballpark - 80% paying for the other 20%. Exact same principle.

It also inflates the price of food by causing more of a demand. But only people without subsidies and aid have to worry about inflation.

You ignorant idiot,dont you realize,we are all in the same boat,unless you are a one percenter,or on top of the pyramid,if not then stfu and increase your knowledge,idiot.

It's down in Myrtle Beach, SC as well. I was told when I called customer service that it is down worldwide. The operators can't even get into an account to look at it. No ETA as to when it will be back up either.

Move to Sweden... then get back to me.

You guys are SOOOOOOO effed when the economy and/or the dollar collapses.

Everything handed out by the government will stop.....and it won't come back up.

OH NOOOES the useless eaters will eat us all
