N Carolina is now suspending EBT applications... Problem is, they already reneged on suspending WIC and TANF.

Great idea guys, let's kick children and single parents in the balls as hard as possible. What could possibly go wrong?

The whole scene at Wal-Mart in LA is probably a small taste of what could be expected.





From what I have read, the 2009 increase due to the stimulus is coming to an end, along with the possibility of funding being held back on the 1st.

Ok, So the tease on the radio was drastic choices for those with benefits getting cut.

Then in report the amount was $36 per month for a family of four.

Yeah, the amount of decrease (or ending of increase, depending on how you look at it) didn't seem like it was going to be as big of a deal as the possible full holdback of funding related to the shutdown.
