Isn't that a little harsh? Shouldn't they be able to buy cabbage and potatoes, too?
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution’s General Welfare Clause (1.8.1) by FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist Supreme Court justices aside, the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for vote-winning food stamp purposes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
So the feds are unconstitutionally distributing food stamps imo, the stamps paid for by unconstitutional federal taxes.
In other words, if the states would wise up and support Pres. Trump in working with the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that are arguably stolen state revenues, then the states would find the revenues to distribute their own food stamps.
Also, patriots are reminded that they now need to be making sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to D.C. on election day.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
This is so overdue!
And it should apply to all states using Federal dollars.
Fewer Escalades, drug purchases and big screen TVs...
Empower the mothers who care for their children (unless they themselves are addicts.)
Not addicted to drugs, not in jail and literate, or capable of becoming literate.
bout dam time someone leads us in curtailing the thievery that swallows a lot of our tax dollars
Why would able bodied people need food stamps at all?
Congrats, Gov. Walker! Great move. Sensible. Multi-functional.
I was disappointed with him in the primaries after his showing such courage in facing down distractors in Wisconsin. This elevates him in my eyes.
You have to spend a significant of your time on the job as a government tax slave.
The takers spend ZER0 time working for the benefit of the government.

Scott Walker was my original first choice in the 2016 GOP primaries, based on his performance as governor when he led the movement to gut the power of Wisconsin’s unions. Alas, he was not a good television personality. Fortunately, we had Trump.
If Walker succeeds in this, he will result in a whole bunch of drugged out welfare recipients moving out of Wisconsin to Illinois, leaving Wisconsin with a more Republican voter base.
He’s the worst. The worst, I tells ya! ;)
Aside from our bad roads (previous Governor Doyle, D stole our transportation fund cash!) and some outstanding debt, Governor Walker has really gotten our state back on track.
This is a long-wished-for dream of Wisconsin Conservatives.
You don’t wanna work? Well, you’re not gonna eat then, Losers!
100%
Ok, instant potato flakes and canned cabbage.
Don't the States have to pony up some of their own money for food stamp programs? If so, they should be able to come up with requirements and if the Feds don't like it, they can either foot the whole bill (same taxpayers paying for it anyway) or just don't fund for those who fail the State requirements so the nannies in the Fed can nurture the low-lifes that scam and abuse the system...welfare should be at such a low subsistence rate it encourages the able-bodied ones to work.
If that's the administration estimate then the actual figures could be even lower. Were is the need for this?
