I am sure the coloreds where shocked about having to work all off a sudden.
[–] firex726 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Many already work, just under the table. So they got benefits and pay.

Im sure a good number of those people are off because they don't have jobs. The fact that the article compares unemployed of 2017 v 2011 and not pre v post job requirement encourages that. So we're not helping people yet.

None of this is about helping people.

Not directly, anyway.

yes it is, it's about lighting a fire under their asses to find work and not need food stamps. Its also about helping the working class by not having freeloaders siphon their money.

People without jobs who partake in state job training programs keep their SNAP benefits.

Remember that old saying?
......you don't work, you don't eat.
It's about time to apply that to every state.
KUDOS, Alabama.

Hunger is the largest motivator their is . Many will really try to find work now when the food runs out .

or they will come into your house to take yours.
[–] FUCK__ISLAM 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
And then never have to worry about food again. Win-win.
[–] n0logic ago
That would be their last mistake .

They will just go to the food banks. Those places don't ask questions. Or go to the church programs. Fatties will do anything not to work.

Is this full time jobs? Or part time work? What's the hours a week cut off required for stamps?
[–] Rainy-Day-Dream 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
that 15% of the freeloaders actually decided to work for their gibs is the surprising part
[–] pcdude [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Probably more like only 15% were actually in need. Those were probably the ones that were already working to begin with.

The problem with food stamps is fatties use it to supplement their low income to buy more junk and states won't vote to remove soda and sugary drinks from the list of approved items. yet they will drop it if they are required to work because they think they are too fat to work, or that they don't want / need to work. At this point they will just claim disability and get food assistance that way.
