Massive Riots, Huge Crime Waves Expected In Many US Cities

Needless to say, a lot of them are going to be very angry when they discover that they cannot buy as much food for their families anymore. The reason that this is happening is because a temporary boost to food stamp benefits that was put in during the last recession is expiring. But most of the people that are having their benefits cut will not understand this.
Most of them will just be very upset that the government is “taking money away” from them. And considering the “mini-riots” that we witnessed earlier this month when the system that processes food stamp payments went down for a few hours, it is obvious that a lot of food stamp recipients can very easily be pushed over the edge. So what would happen if we have another “debt ceiling crisis” in Washington D.C. early next year and food stamp benefits are temporarily cut off completely?
Wherever “austerity” has been tried in Europe, it has resulted in protests and riots. Could a similar thing happen in this country?
NBC News is reporting that ALL food stamp recipients are going to have their food stamp benefits reduced in November. This is certainly not going to put those living in poverty in a good mood…
Millions of American families could face a sparse holiday table when food stamps benefits get reduced in November, and that could be just the start of deeper cuts to the program to feed poor families.
The modern-day food stamp plan, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is scheduled to scale back benefits for all recipients on Nov. 1 because a recession-era boost in benefits is expiring.
Sadly, the truth is that food stamp benefits don’t even buy a lot of food right now. According to the USDA, the average monthly food stamp benefit is approximately $272 per household.
And now it will be even lower.
The government says that a family of four will be getting 36 dollars less per month starting on November 1st.
That may not sound like a lot to you, but for those living on the edge of poverty it can make a huge difference.
What are impoverished families supposed to do? Eat a diet that consists entirely of Ramen noodles?
Of course the real solution would be to provide good paying jobs for those families, but unfortunately our leaders continue to pursue policies that are systematically killing American jobs so that is not going to happen.

This is what the ammo is for, the loss of entitlements from a country that has gone imperial in its conquest to rule the world. Our military bases are in every country of the world now, yet we cannot reduce those or even restrict their growth, or stop aiding with financial assistance the country they are located in. But American politicians can begin reducing food from hungry mouths in America with the very food America produces and sends overseas in abundance.
Lock and load boys…
Lock and load boys??? Who are you locking and loading for?
let them eat cake.
Americans will simply have to tighten their belts, I know it wont be an easy period for the people but we are civilised and respect the rule of law.It would be wise for the government to reduce foreign aid and start looking after its own citizens, and vets , they should also reduce the waste in government bodies there are too many that hinder our way of life.
Totally stop the foreign aid and keep the money at home where it is needed, the US need to stop giving free money to people over seas and take care of its own for a change. Thanks to Bill and Hillary and the NAFTA and GATT that they pushed through we have shipped all of our jobs to foreign countries. And Hillary really thinks she is in the running for president get real she is a piece of shit just study the bengasi debacle she was one of the ring leader. She was also one of the ring leader of the branch dividians which she helped janet rino kill.
Just a little side line here if you research the Lucasville Prison riot it was staged to pull the media away from the ambush and killing of the branch dividians in waco. The warden at the time was an ex FBI agent who was fired for getting his partner killed but still had ties to the FBI and worked with the agency to get the media away from waco for the attack.
You’re right!.. but to correct a bit of history…
Nafta was only signed by Clinton, breaking a campaign promise.
It was Drafted and written by Bush and the GOP!
H. Ross Perot warned us about it….
I doubt that is enough to cause a riot. Don’t be silly!
I dont get food stamps and I dont eat every day.
$272 is a lot of money in places like India and stuff.
