The state of Missouri took a stand against the generational dependence upon the government, forcing welfare recipients to get a job.
Approximately 41,000 Missouri residents no longer have access to the welfare food stamps program after a new time limit law went into effect in 2015. The new state law was actually a reinstatement of welfare reform enacted during President Bill Clintons administration.
The 1996 welfare law, which has now been reinstated, limited food stamps for able-bodies and childless adults to only three months out of every three years, America Now reports. Participants would continue to receive the taxpayer-funded benefits only if they worked 20 hours per week or attended an approved job training program.
We want people to go to work in Mississippi, Republican Governor Phil Bryant said when his state, like many others, ended the time limits and work/training restrictions for the food stamp program.
We want these individuals to get a good job and live the American dream, not just be dependent on the federal government.

You mean government robbing working citizens and giving the confiscated money to other citizens they feel deserve it more.
The problem is there have too many milquetoast Peters out there who have voted for the very people who turn around and rob them.
Stop being a Peter, people!
It is absolutely disgraceful that Obama rolled back all welfare reforms that were put into place in the 90’s.
Attention, all you lazy able-bodied generational welfare cheats: your days of sitting on your @sses watching The View and OWN all day are OVER. Get off your sorry @sses and quit leeching off we who get up at 4 am every morning to go to work. I’m done paying for your illegitimate babies, French manicures, and big screen TVs.

We need to quit expecting our children to grow up and move out at 18-23 and have a lifestyle of success. Multigenerational homes are the key to success in the current climate. That doesn’t include enabling children not to grow up and not to contribute. I don’t know why we expect people to live so separated these days. It used to take time to build success but now the boomers changed the narrative to GTFO and fend for your success with debt as a measure of independence and success.
Is it in MO or MS?
The lady is saying, ‘I don’t have time for that. I will be missing Jerry Springer if I have to get a job.’
Back in the 90s, when Rush's show was more biting satire than political commentary (does anyone remember when Rush would "abort" a caller?), round about the middle of his show, he'd say "The Rush Limbaugh program welcomes all the listeners on welfare, who are just getting out of bed".
I remember what he did it...it was funny, especially I was working 3rd shift at the time. I worked 11:30 PM to 6 am and I got up at noon...
