John Engler in Michigan did the same thing in the 1980’s. He cut General Assistance to healthy young men. GA was a program that paid them just for breathing.

Breathless announcements of mass casualties were given. At the end of the day, the death toll stood at ZERO

Ok.... It certain parts of LA truly have no jobs....I’m sure there are areas that have high unemployment.... Give them a six month work waiver to receive benefits to either move out of state or find a job...

One shot to get your life on track...

Sounds like a win-win to me. If they are so lazy as to not work for food when the food stamps are cut off then let them starve.

Decisions have consequences.

Or send the immigrants in there area there to work to their home countries, so that the natives can have those jobs.
And don’t break up families - send their American born kids go back with them.

Someone should point out to the protesters that according to the Obama Department of Labor we’re now at full employment and experiencing a major economic upswing.

So plenty of jobs out there for the taking.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

Kipling was brilliant.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

Another favorite stanza from that one, for sure.

Extraordinarily politically incorrect today, but so applicable to so many things today, all at once.

After 9/11, I was rather partial to The Grave of the Hundred Head.

I am almost willing to bet that at some time between a last meal and starving to death most of these folks will find some kind of meaningful employment,

I don’t know. People will do some downright wild things when they are starving. Labor for food is a time honored barter method that promotes peace and tranquility. Of course robbery, theft and pillaging have been around since man as well I believe. Opposite of peaceful. Here’s a prayer that many more remember what is written in their heart.
