does a poor job getting eligible low-income people to apply We have to get poor people to apply?
Guess they aren't too hungry.

It ranks last among the 50 states and U.S. territories in processing food stamp applications and also does a poor job getting eligible low-income people to apply<.i>Another great reason why I am trying to move to Texas.

Maybe the right response is not that Texans are performing poorly in maxing out the dole, but that they have more than the average amount of pride and self-reliance. The money does not grow on a tree; it comes from the working portion of the populace.
I’m not against a helping hand, but I don’t like to be taken advantage of, either.

Well they’re just waiting for a call from all those companies they interviewed with, doncha know...

What are you complaining about?
You’re SUPPOSED to supply their needs so that they can spend their money on their wants.

“And because Texas does not even come close to the national average in enrolling those eligible,”

They may say Texas is last in handling this situation. But I'm thinking they may have the best methods & ideas.
A study needs to be done to see if Texas is correct. And since all of these people are looking for hand outs, let them do the study. Pay for it as well.
Can't wait to see their results.

“The government pays for the food. States pick up half of the administrative costs, including employee expenses.”
The govt doesn’t pay dick. We, the taxpayers do, and I’m SICK OF IT!!!!!

Just shameful that what they are saying is that MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE DEPENDENT on the government. This is a slave-recruiting campaign on the part of the BO administration. They are sending recruiters to Texas, and the media falls right into lockstep with them. Good for the governor and others who are saying we don’t want any part of this. And the cynical appeal to the privately owned HEB, that is “missing out on millions.” I can’t imagine the family that owns HEB buying into this argument.

Must be nice to have someone else pay for your food... makes those cell phones, bluetooth headseats, hear treatments, purses, and nice clothes more affordable.

While the productive people make budget compromises and eschew the toys and gadgets and “beauty accessories” and eating out, etc,
to pay the taxes so that these people can buy and do all those things that we are forced to choose not to.
