I've also been involved in a street fight with a person on social security disability, and I can tell you, that person wasn't disabled. There are plenty of disabled people who can run a lot faster than I can. I could technically probably be on EBT right now, but I won't do it. Charity, family and my own work feed me and I'm always working on doing better. I eat good and life is good.

Well not all disabled are physically disabled, many are mentally disabled which could very well have been the case with your street fighter.

TIME TO RETHINK FREE FOOD/EBT?




View Image

and it's all bullshit as it's denominated in virtual funny money called $fiat: aka federal reserve notes (not dollars, dollars were backed by gold/silver)

^ this is the problem.

most of the public is not aware that the new debt ceiling can kick has eliminated all spending restrictions on us gubmint. the whole thing was a contrived event to enable unlimited legal tender (not real money) creation, unlimited spending.

EBT = FREE FOOD?

NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

If you're suggesting that the latest temporary raise of the debt ceiling is a blank check for Obama to do whatever he pleases with then unfortunately you've bought into false propaganda. All Government spending is controlled by Congress, hence the saying "Congress controls the purse strings" The debt ceiling only covers the shortfall on spending that has already been approved. For Obama to spend any of the money perceived as available by raising the debt ceiling Obama would have to first submit his plans in the form of a budget and have it be approved by Congress. Then it would have to exceed money being taken in by the government every month before it would add on to the debt ceiling. Since the CR that everyone agreed to was the amount proposed by the Republicans which was far less then what the Democrats were asking for it's highly unlikely that Congress would approve anything that would directly add to the debt ceiling...except maybe a war, Republicans don't seem to mind running up the National Debt to go to war.

Obama is sending taxpayer money to pakistan by the billions..... where he will most likely return to pick it up after he is out of office... or where it is effectively being leaked to the strongest of terror groups throughout the middle east.... the US has been and is being robbed blindly... pakistan just received a huge chunk of american taxpayer cash after the gov't shutdown was "shutdown... " google it...

Yes it did, just like PBS and NPR also received a bunch of money from the government after the shutdown. You know why? Because those things were approved by Congress well before the shutdown.

Between 2002-2010, US Congress approved $18 billion[7] in military and economic aid from the United States. However the Pakistan Treasury only received $8.647 in direct financial payments.

Hunting, like farming, is an essential skill. However, once the real shit goes down, EBT fails for good, and the debit cards don't work, hunting will be of little value as time goes on. By the time the depression was over there was not so much as a sparrow or squirrel roaming freely in the East. Everything, everywhere that could be eaten had been fished or shot or gathered out of the fields and woods. When Great Smoky Mountain National Park was established there was absolutely no wildlife within it, which was a primary reason for establishing the park in the first place. Someday three hunters will converge on the last deer and shoot it out between themselves for the right to the last venison.

A drain on natural resources will happen when things get bad. Always does.
One thing to consider though, is that a much larger percentage of the US population lived in what would be called rural places vs. cities during the depression. Not so much anymore.There are less hunters and those who are skilled in the sport than there were back then and even less who have any real subsistence skills .
Seems that in most states the majority of the EBT crowd is in the cities nowadays. Most of them wont make it out when SHTF.

Doing pretty good there, Greenlung . You managed to "Negro" and "Hillbilly" in there one right after another. Care to share any more with us?

Most of the people I know who are in the EBT system are white.
