If only the 10th Amendment were honored and the program didn’t exist at all.
The left has used the welfare state for as long as it was in existence to own people..why work if you can get freebies from the govt, just dont forget to vote Dem in every election..if people didnt rely on Govt freebies, they wouldn’t vote Dem
People who have jobs are less likely to riot.
“…homeless folks have access to food stamps”
Thus assuring an ever-growing “homeless” problem.
“...veterans and homeless people...”
HATER! If you don’t use the woketard-approved term “people experiencing homelessness” you are a HATER.
Didn’t ask for or want work requirements. I don’t care. I do care about where the TRILLIONS in extra spending is going.
I remember not long after Obama left for Trump a former bureaucrat said he had worked for years in a department in DC and shortly after Obama was sworn in the man told his boss as always “Here are the piles of folders of the applicants for welfare. I already went through each one for the best matches for jobs and training. They’re all set.”
He was told now that Obama had given an order, “No more work requirements. Get rid of that and just assign the payments to all of them.”
Now they act like no one in history had ever believed “welfare is not a way of life, it is a temporary bridge for the person out of work to journey to the other side to have the pride of working for a living again.” Humorous now.
The late Paul Harvey said: “People used to be ashamed of having to reluctantly and quietly accept welfare. They didn’t want the neighbors to find out.”
“Now the system is renamed entitlements and the people boldly demand the payments because they are entitled to them
and don’t care who hears about it.”
Virginians know that Captain John Smith was vital to the survival of Jamestown in its early years.
They can quote his order: “He that will not worke, shall not eate.”

FReepers know that too!
LIEberals, on the other hand . . . .
I know. What to they think, they can just sit on their ass and get rent, phone, utilities, etc. paid for by the taxpayers?
Put them to work cleaning up the freaking trash on the highways. The kids can pick up and the parents can carry the sacks.
They are probably the ones who threw most of it out anyway.
pick up trash, sweep the streets, mow parks/cemetery grass, rake leaves in same, shovel snow...
the country should look spotless!!!
I’ve received food stamps, including while homeless. There are a lot of circumstances where someone might not be able to work, especially an older person, and have no other options.
I’m 53 now, with several physical problems. I actually, due to my family situation, with a number of them disabled, could have, several times, gone on disability myself. My family members were “disability-minded” rather than “work-minded,” making things more difficult for me. Before reading the whole Bible, I spent 20 years severely depressed. Yet, if I could work, I would.
Now that I have some physical problems, though, that may not be enough for disability, and which I’m trying to work on, I might not even have food stamps.
I have to stop here, but many people even on the right are very quick to judge others, as if they know all about situations.
Boo f’ing Hoo
I have 'access' to food - with the money I get by WORKING!!!
