Didn’t Clinton institute this, for it to be quietly undone by Obama thru Executive Order?
How about no federal aid? Leave it ALL to the states.
5 more points added to the approval rating.
Will that include illegals, of which more than 80 percent are on welfare?
Watching Hannity and Newt was on.
Does anyone know why Trump has not released all the documents that would incriminate hillary and obama, and free him of all this investigation? He can declassify them.. he can release them.. why hasn’t he?
if reasonably able to work, they should have to get a job (even part time)
this should be done now.
and next, the entire federal welfare bureaucrappy needs to be cut... and any genuinely-needed programs released to the states to decide, do (states are the general sovereigns not the fed govt, and states can usually do a much better job of such things to begin with)...
But what does Jim Acosta think?
I worked very hard for my money, with more 14 hour days than most welfare recipients can imagine. If leftists want the government to take money from those who work hard and give it to those who produce far less, the least they could do is work full time.
As a former “food stamp man” (that is really what most of my Florida “customers” called me when I worked for the Dept. of Chilfren and Familys in the late 90s) I was constantly amazed at what lengths some people would go to get food stampsjust to turn them into money for drugs and booze. We actually changed to the EBT card while I was there and I recall a call from a local grocery store manager saying a customer bought a couple hundred dollars worth of shrimp on their card and came right back in the store to ger a refund in cash. The manager refused and I said he was right to do it but if they come back again offer them $20 for me, I love shrimp.
Novel idea.. getting money for doing something instead of nothing.
That might actually work !
I speak with folks on food stamps on a weekly basis as an intake interviewer at a local food bank. The amount of fraud folks freely tell me about is amazing.
Working will do them a lot of good.
I could write a book...

Um, not if it needs 60 votes.
Requiring a certain level of valid activity with UI-style job search makes sense. However, even the FDR era realized that frank “make work” is needed in some cases. It’s easy for fortunate conservatives to compare every case to their own, and that’s not always valid.
I want public service! 8 to 5 with hour for lunch. Do road repairs, Filing at the court house, repair school grounds,. WORK !! Or no food!! These lazy bastards get $36,000 a year parasiting off of WORKING people!!. Get up!! Go to work for the people if you are eating off the people!!
30% of Americans are obese. Why is government subsidizing food in any way at all?
The Left wants to give just enough money to keep people dependent and in poverty, the Right wants to create jobs so that everyone has the opportunity to work their way out of poverty and into independence.
Abolish the Food Stamp program in it’s entirety and set up Soup Kitchens
There’s lot of jobs out there...
