EBT Cards down due to technical issue...Not the shut down

So a power outage (not the current woes in Washington) is being blamed for EBT cards being rendered useless on Saturday. You can click here for more details.

EBT card holders across the country were unable to use their cards and their were reports of people who receive benefits on their cards walking out of the stores empty handed.

I can only imagine the uproar. But I hope this serves as a wake-up call to those who are using the services. If you're a cardholder... try and get off this system and not depend on the government to help you.
Because when things like this happen, when you're unable to access your benefits to take care of yourself or your family... you simply just have to deal with it. And you and your family are left hurting in the process.
