O estado de bem-estar americano em crise

ALERT: Government Freezes EBT Funds: Orders States to Withhold Transfers to Food Stamp Recipients Mac Slavo

Within hours of the crash panicked food stamp recipients who were left with no way to feed their families rushed grocery store shelves to obtain everything they could while the system was down.

But if you thought that isolated incident was bad, imagine what could happen next month.
