wow. common sense still works.
why are able bodies people even WITH kids on support.
i didn’t tell them to have the kids and i dont want to pay for them.
I know a couple adults (single) who don’t work and receive Food stamps, medicaid, welfare
They are simply “looking for the right job”
Food stamps, like ethanol, is a farm subsidy as much as it is welfare.
Many of these guys probably found that these requirements interfered with their busy schedule of off-the-books work.
Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, et. al. will all now be gunning for LePage.
Coupling the work requirement to welfare benefits always results in decreased claims.
In the future, the democrats will push for an entirely digital currency. The reason will be to stop people hoarding cash and the pursuit of undeclared taxes. But that would hurt the underground economy, a substantial portion of which is democrats. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Hmm, so one billion dollars in new Federal spending is around $10 in new taxes or debt for every taxpayer, on average. Ten billion dollars earmarked for this or that of some congressman's favorite program is $100 in tax or debt to each and every tax slave.
So the 616 billion dollar deficit (forecast for the next Federal fiscal year) means each taxpayer must pay taxes or owe future generations another $6160.
Ha! Good luck collecting that, kids. That $6K is on top of $159K each taxpayer has already been obligated to by their benevolent Congress Critters. Ah, but what difference at this point does it make ... money must grow like poppies in the White House garden ... OPM poppies ... Other People's Money ...
