"One reason for the catastrophic growth in the number of ABAWDs is Barack Obama’s 2009 stimulus bill, which opened the door for states to waive the work provision required of ABAWDs. That work provision mandated that to continue receiving food stamps, after three months of being unemployed ABAWDs must work or perform some type of work activity 20 hours per week."
THIS is the point -- that people who are ablebodied, NOT old, need to maintain a habit of work, the states gave them things to do, (not forced to get jobs, if there aren't any) based on their abilities, rather than just live off the dole almost permanently. That way since they did have to do some work, they had an incentive to look for and find a job. But Obama removed that requirement. This removed the incentive for many to find work.
I at least understood the point of the article but theres zero doubt it’s insinuating that all the single able bodied people getting aid are only getting it because of the law and not because of need. That sir is precisely how the vast majority on here are reading it.
” But Obama removed that requirement. This removed the incentive for many to find work.”
You’ve broken the code!! Obama’s agenda is to create a dependent society sufficiently large to insure the re-election of RATs. That, and “income redistribution” are the sole elements of his presidency.
