I have never heard or saw on social media any EBT recipients who were thankful. ALmost all say its "their" benefit. I "deserve" this. No thanks to the working middle class families whose income were diverted. No gratefulness.

Roger that. 

I'd bet, as these recepients gather around the warm family table this Thanksgiving, creaking under the load of all the wonderful foods that EBT brings, a family member will stand up and quietly call everyone to prayer.

For Thanks.

Thanks to the EBT program where we can enjoy the windfall that enables us to buy fireworks at the end of the year......

No thanks whatsoever to the hard working people that made their benefits possible, these very people who just might be eating processed turkey instead of the real thing.  And driving a 2007 Toyota Corolla instead of a lifted F-150 with bling bling wheels and tires.

I might be cynical but ainokea.  May God punish me if I am insensitive but I'm suffering from  entitlement fatigue after hearing and seeing it in the news, airwaves, internet, and even in my own family.

The slaves of the modern age, unable to stand for themselves.  The Left’s narrative of victimhood is the yoke they slip around these peoples necks, and they become their cattle, all for free government cheese, usually for the rest of their lives.

If one should doubt this characterization, I would ask them to consider there are apparently 41 MILLION of them.

Canada has a total population of 40.1 million, so we have a country the size of Canada within our borders who are sucking hard on the government teat ….

This is how they prep us for UBI and digital communism.

It's just like baiting pigs with a feeder to get them comfortable hanging out in the kill zone

Some of those EBT pigs look too comfortable hanging around that feeder.

The government should require them some gym time.

a friend went to sams club after work this afternoon
EBT cards were reloaded and there was a ton of people there
spam and vienna sausage were in short supply...

I want my EBT.

This information is not readily presented on the DHS website, but I've seen it in 3 other places.

The Hawaii Emergency Food Assistance Program (HEFAP)
benefits will expire on December 31, 2025, if they are not used.
These benefits are available for purchasing food and groceries
at retail locations that accept EBT cards.

The state benefit is supposed to be debited from an EBT card before any federal benefit.

Anyway, it answers my question as to whether the state will try to take that money back.  They are going to get it back from anyone who doesn't spend $250 on their EBT between 11/10 and 12/31.  Slim to no chance of that happening.
