Could the SNAP EBT (Food Stamp) disaster that occurred across 17 states last weekend have been a planned drill rather than system failure? This letter sent out by the USDA makes your brain turn.

A USDA letter has surfaced that has been sent to states across the nation. States are being told to "stop the supplemental nutrition assistance program for the month of November, pending further notice." Which could mean that if Congress doesn't reach a deal to get federal government back up and running somebody at the Whitehouse decided you will not get your benefits. Worse yet, they have not sent anyone a letter letting people across the nation know their benefits are going to be postponed.

Would the government really wait until the very last-minute to make you aware of your loss of benefits?

Lets not forget other sensible cuts that could happen for example programs like the Department of Homeland Security, The NSA, The TSA, fusion centers, unconstitutional spying programs, cameras on the street corners and armored vehicles for our local colleges are not happening. I bet all those bills are still being paid. Why can't we cut there?

However according to the government people who store food for a disaster and or have a garden are potential domestic terrorists.

I'm inclined to believe that this was deliberate (regarding the leaked memo). What better way to stir up outrage against the shutdown/sequestration? IMO nothing but politics here.

Interesting leak right after the WalMart fiasco too. Sounds like more hostage taking threats to scare "Repubs" and blame the "tea party".

But I don't put anything past them...
