By all means, let’s keep the Plantations open and well stocked with dependent subjects. Operating expenses supplied by the labor and treasure of others, of course.
Needless to say some Obola appointee will be outraged to hear that people are being required to work for their daily bread and,well...you know...
Hmmmmm, let me guess. This case has probably been “randomly” assigned to an obama judge or another judge with a history of progressive activism on the bench.
stricter requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents
So whats there excuse?
Need to cash in food stamps for cash at the local bodega, for drugs, booze, lotto, hoes or other gambling indevours
My worthless stepson moved out in the middle of the night because he wouldn’t comply with our simple rules of helping us with daily chores prior to, or after he got off work.
About a year later he comes slinking his sorry ass back home. He got fired from every job and went down and got on foid stamps. He was 19 and in grear health.
I took his benefit card from him and cut it up.
Because nudging otherwise able bodied adults to get off the cans.. and get a job.. is just mean.
Once again, he’s simply enforcing the rules that are already on the books.
*Any more than 3% authorized by same authorizing practitioner of total in a geographical area will trigger a review by an agency, and if malfeasance / fraud is found the aforementioned practitioner will be remanded for trial and if found guilty and serve 5 years for each infraction, at which time will be incarcerated and required to adjudicate physical exams for those claiming disability.
Those attempting to defraud the people of the United States will be made available for WPA and NRA (see new deal. circa 1930's) projects for a period of not less than 4 years and not more than 10 years. At which time they will be enrolled in a skills training program. Malingering will add not more that 6 months to sentence. (per iteration.)
Food Stamps are the ‘gateway drug’ of the welfare system. Once you are on food stamps you are eligible for a free cell phone, free internet and all kinds of other benefits. These benefits are administered by state and local government employees. The more beneficiaries, the more employees are needed.
This is why cutting the food stamp rolls is not seen as a good thing.
Maine passed a similar rule under the great Pail Lepage- I think it is now a requirement in Maine?
I wonder how “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion” they would feel if it was not federal money but their own State taxes they had to spend on these freeloaders?
Here we have a good job environment and still these able bodied youth cant seem to accomplish anything beyond cashing in their free ride.
Yet this past retirement old fart still works.
Bob Denver playing Maynard G. Krebs the beatnik loafer in The Dobie Gillis TV show:
Work?!?!!
President Trump has done the job of making full employment a reality. There’s no reason why an able bodied adult without dependents can’t work.
OREGON ping. Yes...knew Oregon would be one
Those states are welcome to supplement whatever able bodies losers in their states.
My mother was a social worker, and it gave me a look at the welfare system. These people are at least able bodied enough to plunge fries into hot oil.
“The new rule...will allow states to waive the work requirement only in areas where the unemployment rate is above 7 percent.”
And that leads to a SOLUTION for the Blue States. Simply raise their Minimum Wage to $25/hour, so that their unemployment rate hits 10% (at the least), and they can have all the handouts they want.
I’m all for this.
I volunteer as an intake interviewer at a local food bank. As such I encounter these food stamp (they’re trying to change the name to SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but they’re not having much luck around here) folks all the time.
______
Me: Are you working?
Client: I get a government check.
Me: Thank you, are you working? (It’s possible to work and get a gvt check.)
Client: No.
Me: How much money do you spend at the grocery store?
Client: I get food stamps.
Me: Thank you. I see from your paperwork that you get food stamps. How much?
Client: Well, I was getting $300. But Jamel moved out and applied for food stamps on his own. They cut me down to $230.
Me: Not counting the $230 in food stamps, how much are you spending at the grocery store?
Client: I told you I get food stamps.
Me: Yes you did but food stamps won’t buy everything you need. Toilet paper, deodorant and shampoo for example.
Client: I don’t buy that stuff at the grocery store.
Me: Okay, but where ever you buy it, how much are you spending?
Client: $50.00 I guess.

This pretty well sums up the food stamp part of the interview. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth with these folks. They know I’m going to ask these questions, they’re in here every six weeks. I think they enjoy busting my chops.
