most people on SNAP have children. so this ruling will have zero influence on 90 percent of the receptiants.
Exactly. Work requirements for welfare are mostly political theater because they always exempt those with dependent children, which is the vast majority of recipients as you noted. It’s amazing how a biological function like having a child entitles you to exalted status in this country. It’s no secret that welfare leeches keep having kids to increase their freebies, the only way we’re going to get this massive welfare state abuse under control is to stop paying them more for having kids. Having a child shouldn’t put you on easy street, make them work for the food stamps children or not. We’re already paying for their child care already under the guise that they have to have it in order to work, so make them work.
Sorry, Gary Crow, that I didn’t read your response first. My thoughts are in line with yours’ 100%. I’m old enough to remember when it was regarded as amoral when there were unwed births. Now it appears it’s a badge of honor to be called an “unwed mother”.
