    In some Walmart stores, customers emptied shelves like it was Black Friday, while in others, no one could buy anything -- all thanks to a weekend of glitches with the nation's welfare system.

    Problems involving Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, the government payments to the poor that are administered by states with the help of private companies, plagued at least 17 states Saturday and Sunday, creating retail riots. At Louisiana stores in Springhill and Mansfield, cards registered no spending limits, prompting recipients to go on buying binges.

    Today no spending limit, tomorrow the system crashes altogether. It seems like class warfare on US streets is only a matter of time.

    In November, USDA will withhold foodstamps (EBT) for 50 million people!! Food riots ala Soylent Green?
