What’s the cost of the “job training” vs. the cost of their continuing to receive food stamps and do nothing?

[Jean S]

Ping.

but the TOTUS wants his base to look amazing

Mandatory drug testing would trim it even more.

And the administration would sue claiming discrimination, a catchall accusation used when there is no reason to believe the law has been broken.

Maybe a few welfare queens could be trained to hold umbrellas so our Marines could go about securing the USA.

Oh, probably not, as they would complain that the job was too demeaning.

How about the ones who already have full-time jobs?

Gov Tommy Thompson did this once before and the welfare rolls dropped drastically in Wisconsin late 80s early 90s.

What happened? When I worked at the Iowa Workforce Center from 1988 to 2000, both food stamp and AFDC (”welfare”) recipients had to go through a job search skills workshop if called upon to do so. I taught many of those classes. Some exceptions were made (total disability, pregnant and nursing mothers, etc.) but it was mostly mandatory.

“job training” That’s a dog whistle racist phrase /sarc

[Nervous Tick]

Job *training*?

No! No more damn “job training” boondoggles that are just a featherbed wealth transfer to goofy, ineffective “job training” companies and entities.

Mandating “job training” at “state-approved” “job trainers” just adds corporate welfare on top of individual welfare.

You want food stamps? Actively seek and find a JOB.

Any job.

What if its someone who is already working 40 hours a weeks but needs a little help?

The mass migration into Illinois will be something to behold.

There is massive fraud in the system. Having recipients show up for job training will screen out the non existent, phantom straw recipients, some of the illegal aliens, and a large percentage of well off recipients who are ineligible and who are scamming the system.

That is about half.

At least 40 percent of entitlement spending is fraud.

An LA County audit about 10 years ago documented a 60% fraud rate in LA county alone. The LA County entitlement budget is 18 billion dollars a year.

This I on top of an already publicly disclosed cost of 5 billion per year for court mandated free health care for illegal aliens
