Very weird Ohio claims it is Xerox's issue
"Xerox cash and food assistance card payment system went down around 11:00 a.m. Saturday. As of 3:30 p.m., the cash system has been fixed, but the EBT card system is still down."

On twitter I am seeing NJ, PA, MD, OH, IL, GA, MS

Where I'm coming from, we have a name for those who live like parasites:
COCKROACHES!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2251942


Bullshit. You are the cockroach if your EBT no longer works!

If your EBT card has been cut off, then youve got no one to blame but your anti-government, anti-Obama traitorist rants!

Traitors dont get EBT. Every week when you went to the grocery store with that EBT, you should have been thanking your government, not badmouthing it online!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48085629


So let me get this straight.

Obama turned off your ebt becasue the other poster called him a bitch on glp?

Re: EBT card not working
Do you people realize what other countries think of the United States of America right now? Do you realize what your country has become? Americans on food stamps, welfare and other handouts. A Congress that either can not (yes, I made it two words, for emphasis) or will not work together and is basically holding the world ransom while its spoiled-brat drama queens go off on a power trip to see who will give in first. Is it real or is it all a coverup for something else. It's disgusting is what it is. What a mess.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2268641


Do you realize the amount of spending and debt we have incurred over the past 12 years?!?!? Should we wait for the collapse of the dollar because we gave Obama Carte blanche? It's going to happen now or in a few years if we don't slam on the brakes NOW! The rest of the world can go fuck themselves!

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

I've been having this feeling lately that I have to store water. My family thinks I'm nuts because now I have been filling and storing milk jugs with water. Maybe I've just been on GLP for too long .

This turning off of the EBT card to me is a test. What if they turn off the supply of water to your home next ? How long would you all last ?

Thing is, at least where I live, people who get benefits tend to go the grocery store on the 1st of the month and use everything, or at least most of it, all at once.You know - the people with a cart or two piled FULL. If this was happening on the first, then maybe I'd expect people to get really upset. But...maybe they did that on purpose? Shut if off mid month to try and lessen the impact?

While I didn't confirm if EBT was working here in Texas, I can report the grocery store was normal for this time on a Saturday and for those worried about their EBT:

3 Cans of 3pound beans = $9.00
2 Gallon Waters = $3.00
10pounds of Rice is $10.00

That ain't a great way to eat, but it'll stop you from starving!
