So, if they find a job they still get benefits? Who writes this crap?

Grab ANTIFA and go after the politicians. Your predicament doesn’t concern them. They live LARGE.

Does spending 20 hours a week in nail and hair salons count?

A lot of these folks sell their EBT cards for cash to buy drugs. This is huge.

How fitting.

Oh, man, and Jussie’s series got canceled, too. Poor guy is going to be wandering the Chicago streets, dining in Subways and waiting for a pair of buffed African-American white supremacists to throw bleach at him. Oh, wait, he’s already tried that. Can the unemployment line be far behind? Three hots and a cot in the Cook County Calaboose?

The 400,000 illegals in Chicago, a sanctuary city, don’t seem to have trouble finding work, or getting food stamps. OK, probably less than half that are adult illegals, but still.

Key takeaways from this

the county’s 826,000 food stamp recipients

826K? WTH?

Single adults receive, on average, $200 a month in food aid.

That's a lot of Doritos and diet Coke - gotta watch a lotta TV whilst consuming said essentials

6% “might” lose food stamps.

Those who think there is only 6% getting this who don’t deserve it, raise your hand....and then slap yourself.

Only 6% fraud (or corruption) in the food stamp program in Cook County (or anywhere else)? Yeah, I believe that.

As an aside, one wonders how this would read if Republicans were running Cook county for 80 years. Think that might have been mentioned in the “news” article?

I wonder how much of an effect that will have on local supermarkets/Wal-Mart?

“ Quite frankly, a lot of the folks who are not able to meet those requirements will not participate in the program and just drop out,” said Grace Hou,”

I’m not seeing a problem here.
