Send them to Afghanistan to fight and earn those handouts.

Many food stamp recipients do work at low paying jobs and receive foodstamps to supplement their income.

I worked at a convenience store many years ago. The EBT machine did not work so we could not process EBT cards.

Every single person who tried to buy something with their EBT card paid cash instead.

I did not have a single customer leave their items and walk out.

For what it’s worth.

Wow, I lost my husband three months ago. He left my daughter & I nothing,I could not collect his social security because he was only 57. I could collect half,which honestly is not much & I could only make 12,000 dollars a year. That would not cover the mortgage & food for myself & my daughter. There will be no Christmas presents this year. But,I did go out & fine a job.That’s what you have to do, go to work.

In my state most adult recipients do have jobs. I believe the mean number of jobs was 1.3 per family unit or close to that.

Donald Trump mentioned 'terrific' Warren Buffett when he was asked about potential cabinet picks

"Trump also said billionaire businessman Henry Kravis, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, and "Carl" — the business magnate Carl Icahn, if Trump's past statements are any indication — are the sort of people who could serve in his administration."

Now that they've reduced the influence of the private sector so much over the past few decades, the controlling socialist influence in politics might pull that off after the elections.

Ah, maybe budget out that free food instead of binging on goodies at the beginning of the cycle? I know I have seen overloaded shopping carts at the start of the month so you know there is no planning or thinking ahead. If they were capable of that they would maybe be able to hold down a job or keep their knees together so they don’t drop ten or twelve babies, and yes I’m including the ones that are supposed to have not just balls but brains.
