More at the link (FR wouldn't accept the last 120 words) describing how the program would work.

I usually support such measures. I think people are happier working whether they realize it or not. Volunteer work could build job skills etc. Now I read this on Drudge and think "Oh. So that's how the Dems will create our Socialist society. Support bills requiring "the poor" to work. Have the government support those who do. Then...make us all poor. Income redistribution."

About time, and anyone on food stamps can get off their ass , do community work , after all the left and bozo loves helping the community as well as Sharpton, Jackson etc.

Also those on food stamps should only fruit and veggies, no more soda’s, chips and other junk food.

I’m waiting for keep fit Michelle to announce and push healthy food for those on welfare .

Not holding my breath though

“State Sen. Vincent Gregory, D-Southfield, thinks the bills take aim at people who are already suffering their lowest moments.

“These people, they already need as much money as they can get, they wouldn’t be asking for it if they didn’t need it,” he said. “

How utterly simplistic. If they didn’t need it they wouldn’t ask for it. How does he expect anyone to take him seriously?

Just wait until Obama and his puppet master have completed “fundamentally transforming” the USA

Do you think they will allow people to sit around on their ass collecting free money?

FORCED LABOR CAMPS are a hallmark of socialist/communist countries!
