And here will come the ACLU saying they can’t force people to work for welfare ...
Good for NM, In Alabama my neighbor just turned down a promotion, raise and going full time from part time just to keep his $390 a month coming.
Didn't Maine take similar steps with unexpected results?
Oh the Children will suffer!.... Who are not the responsibility of any state but of the parents..single or married.
"If a man will not work, he shall not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10
My dads friend once said “ when I was on welfare, I ate steak. Now that I’m working, I’m eating Bologna. “ that was back in the eighties.
Interesting that all the refugees we’re bringing here eventually move to states that offer the best welfare system. They not only migrate here, legals and otherwise, they migrate across state borders to where the pickings are their to pick....and they have a network of resources/connections who guide them to those states.
Food stamps are a farm subsidy. They’re administered by the Dept. of agriculture.
Tobacco products and alcohol can not be purchased with food stamps (SNAP). If they are there's some sort of a crime going on.
More specifically, after being inspired by a relatively recent FR thread to research Social Security, there is evidence that FDR’s corrupt, Democratic-controlled Congress had used the Constitution’s general welfare clause to justify establishing Social Security.
Helvering v. Davis
The major constitutional problem with Congress using the general welfare clause to justify anything is the following. When President James Madison, Madison generally regarded as the father of the Constitution, vetoed the federal public works bill of 1817 which the 14th Congress had attempted to justify with the GWC, Madison had noted the following in the constitutionally required veto letter to Congress. The GWC is not a delegation of specific power to Congress, but essentially serves as an introductory clause for the clauses that follow it in Section 8.
"To refer the power in question to the clause "to provide for common defense and general welfare" would be contrary to the established and consistent rules of interpretation, as rendering the special and careful enumeration of powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. Such a view of the Constitution would have the effect of giving to Congress a general power of legislation instead of the defined and limited one hitherto understood to belong to them, the terms "common defense and general welfare" embracing every object and act within the purview of a legislative trust. …” — President James Madison, Veto of federal public works bill of 1817.
So the low-information 74th Democratic-controlled Congress that made the bill which established Social Security (SS) made the same mistake with establishing SS that the 14th Congress had made in trying to build roads and canals. The difference is that Madison appropriately killed the federal public works bill whereas Constitution-ignoring FDR wrongly signed the bill that established unconstitutional SS.
And regardless what lawless Obama’s activist justices want everybody to believe about the constitutionally of Obamacare, Obama likewise wrongly signed the unconstitutional Obamacare bill into law.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators, activist justices and lawless presidents who support unconstitutional federal laws along with it.
I have homeless asking if I want to buy food stamps for half price. I tell them it is ILLEGAL to sell EBT. They don't care...
This will encourage them to just keep popping out babies. We’ve done this before and that is what happened.
