only single mothers and the elderly can collect welfare.
and maybe it's also because the US economy of 2013 is totally different then it was 20-30 years ago? wages are flat, prices of goods and services increase at double the rate of the CPI and more then real GDP growth and the dollar isn't worth shit. the shift to a large service sector means the majority of jobs are low paying, there are no "options" in reality. you can trade on low paying job for another.
do you know what other country in the OECD has a large population and a service sector based economy that can't support the entire population? Mexico...the future of the US is right to our southern border

EBT card food stamp recipients ransack Wal-Mart stores[/h]
Stealing carts full of food during federal computer glitch
October 14, 2013
When the federal EBT food stamp system suffered a critical failure on Saturday, local retailers were disconnected from the federal food stamp database that keeps track of how much credit is left on each individual EBT card. Seizing the opportunity provided by the glitch, EBT card holders in Louisiana
ransacked their local Wal-Mart stores, stuffing their shopping carts full of groceries and ?paying? for them with near-empty EBT cards that essentially had
unlimited account balances because all accounting was offline.

When the EBT database came back online and card purchase limits were suddenly restored,
EBT card holders abandoned their full carts and just walked away, probably miffed that they missed out on participating in the felony theft of groceries.
This happened at Wal-Mart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA. As
local news station KSLA reports:
Shelves in Walmart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA were reportedly cleared Saturday night, when the stores allowed purchases on EBT cards even though they were not showing limits.
The chaos that followed ultimately required intervention from local police, and left behind numerous carts filled to overflowing, apparently abandoned when the glitch-spurred shopping frenzy ended.
The story goes on to report that one woman who racked up $700 worth of groceries had only 49 cents on her card. That?s $699.51 in theft.
But that?s the mindset of many (but not all) EBT card holders, you see: it?s all about
how much they can get away with stealing without getting caught. As it is virtually impossible to retrieve all these stolen items from EBT cardholders, these losses are going to have to be absorbed by either Wal-Mart or the federal government. In either case, other people must burden the cost of the theft.
For the record, not everyone on EBT cards is a social parasite. Some are truly hard-working moms and dads and others who really need a short-term safety net, and I?m for supporting those who need a helping hand to get back on their feet. If someone is working, trying to make ends meet and needs some short-term assistance, we must have the compassion to help them. But far too many people today are simply unwilling to work, and their entire economic plan is to
suck off the system and collect as much as they can off everyone else while refusing to contribute to society themselves. That?s the mindset of a great many EBT card holders who engage in widespread abuse and fraud. Some even sell their EBT cards to crooked shop owners who pay them cash. That cash is often used to buy crack or other street drugs.
This is now what characterizes the EBT program in America: massive fraud and abuse.
An important lesson in the twisted morality of those who engage in ?proxy theft? of food and money
In analyzing this behavior, what I?m about to share with you here is hugely important for anyone who wants to survive the coming social chaos and urban death traps that will unfold when a real crisis hits. Please help me get this story posted at
SurvivalBlog.com,
DailyPaul.com and other liberty / preparedness sites where it may be of use.
Here?s the life-or-death lesson in all this:
Most people who live off the government have no concept of private property. They literally do not believe that stealing large quantities of food from someone else is morally wrong. In fact, they believe that YOUR stored food actually belongs to THEM because they are ?entitled? to live off you like parasites. This is the only life they know, and this is how they are born, raised and trained by the Democrats to remain wholly subservient to the government for their entire lives.
As proof of this, read some of the comments posted on this article. You will find, in astonishment, that nearly all the comments are from people who say there is nothing wrong from stealing food from Wal-Mart because it?s a ?rich? corporation. Instead of condemning the people stealing shopping carts full of food from Wal-Mart, they are condemning me for daring to write about this issue. Apparently, I am bad for opposing the theft of food. In fact, according to some comments, I am engaged in a ?hate crime? for even pointing out that stealing food is wrong.
These comments demonstrate exactly my point. We now live in a society that?s so pathetic and so twisted in its moral code that the ransacking of a retailer by EBT card holders is considered morally justifiable. Anyone who opposes it is accused of spewing ?hate crimes.? Don?t put much weight into those attacking this story, by the way. Many of them are the very same people who will not survive the coming federal financial default. In their denial of reality, they can only resort to lashing out against those who are trying to save them by alerting them to the truth.
How will the federal government reach a state of default? The reversal of morals and ethics is precisely what drives the acceleration of the welfare state into ever larger handouts for the demanding masses until the whole system reaches a point of unsustainable default. Once individual morality is gone, the morality of the nation quickly falls. And today, we are witnessing a wholesale reversal of morals in the minds of individual EBT recipients.
As this small EBT card glitch clearly demonstrates, if given half a chance,
many EBT card holders will immediately engage in the mass looting of food and supplies as long as they can get away with it. This was not one or two isolated people; this involved
masses of people who spontaneously transformed into
a rampaging mob of looting maniacs that ransacked a private business and caused huge losses in stolen goods and displaced inventory.
To clarify, I am not saying that all EBT card holders are one trigger away from slipping into a raging mob of looters. But many of them are. Food stamps are just a ?safe? way for them to mug you, indirectly, through the ?proxy theft? of government. Every paycheck you earn is already being looted against your will, and a significant portion of that money is going to pay for the ?benefits? of many people who flat-out refuse to work or to take any responsibility for their own lives.
