As for the cell phone, lots of us don't rely on a stupid cell phone. How the hell do you rely on a phone anyway?

Sucks for the kids, this is the second time the government shunned the children. First with WIC, now with this.

Again, I don't see the problem.
Govt programs need to be scaled back greatly.
I point to the Walmart incident in LA as a shining example of what the Food Stamp mentality has given birth to.

Well they can't stop social security because there actually would be riots. If you shutdown welfare contrary to popular belief there would be no riots. Welfare consists of WIC and TANF. Both go to mothers with children. Mothers with babies at home usually don't own a firearm. They also almost never do anything about anything. No offense but the essence of being female is submission. That's what it means. Men are stronger physically for a reason its always been our job to take care of things like this.
As far as SNAP, the only rioting would be localized to California, Louisiana, etc... Would not affect most people.
Now you stop disability and old peoples social security checks omg that's a whole other story. I posted this all last night about midnight with news articles. Its not new people signing up that are being left out in the cold. These are not forward funded programs (FFIS) ANYONE on them will stop receiving the benefits. Period. They have sent out notices to all offices to not send out checks in November for WIC and SNAP already.
Medicaid is funded through Jan of next year again forward funded (FFIS). People don't understand how these things work thus the confusion. There is not already money in the system to pay the benefits to people already on the program unless its FORWARD FUNDED FFIS.
So November. Goodbye WIC, goodbye SNAP, TANF should have gone already. I wish more people would get involved and study this so they would know just how screwed up this country is. We pay half off so the other half can't do anything about the tyranny.
Anyhow hope that clears it up.

So all these people will get pissed and then riots will emerge and spread across the nation like a wildfire and then all those fema camps will be put into play and marshal law will be initiated. I think that all those coffins are for the simple fact that they think the american people wont have what it takes to defend our selves. Well let me put it this way if they think they are the only ones with military weaponry they are sadly mistaken. =)
