"Oh I's gots to work fo that free money?? Forget that!"
What a laughing stock Obama really was! Such a POS! Look at the amount of money saved to the government just by reinstalled a simple, smart idea.
Food stamp rolls plummet in states that restore work requirements

When I was out of a job, my fiance's trash liberal father tried to convince me to go on foodstamps and welfare. First thing I told him; "I am not going to become the very thing I mock, and I would rather be homeless than take money from people who actually WORKED for it." I may be a "House Husband" now, you know, doing the cooking, cleaning; the opposite of the 50s gender stereotype... but at least I still have my damn pride. Anyone who doesnt work for their food does not deserve to even live under a roof

Isn't this like buying votes honestly. The liberals do it all the time.

During the high unemployment and recession of the 80's I used food stamps while going to college to keep my two boys in bread and milk. On them then off them. I couldn't let pride stand in the way of feeding my kids and I owned the roof over my head!

In a real need situation I see nothing at all wrong with getting and taking help for a short time as long as you're trying to better yourself or actively attempting to. It's the BS people with cigarettes,beer and iPhones that are begging to stay on them while sitting home playing Xbox..those are the POS ones that need to disappear off the earth.

I remember my Father taking a lot of guns to a pawn shop to get money to feed us kids. Both of my parents were working at the time. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. It is also one reason I have always collected guns. They are a liquid asset that will never be worth nothing.

Probably should be more specific when I say this, cuz if help is needed for an honest working joe; then of course it isn't a terrible thing.... I'm talking bout the lazy manchilds would "cant be bothered" with work, have some baby momma, etc.....

My sister worked for the state of Michigan years ago .. It dealt with this same thing workfare ... whatever they called it. The state found you a job and you had to work 30 hours a week to get food stamps etc. They also had a drop .. The reason was many folks were collecting also from Ohio and Indiana besides Michigan ....Gave a fake address of a friend and the check arrived there. On occasion one had to show up at a welfare office to keep the benefits .... IF they were working they could not show up when required ... She said there is more fraud out there than you would believe.

These programs are for people who need temporary assistance while in school or looking for work, they are not a lifestyle and should have more requirements than having a pulse.

I like to ask Leftists: "So.... what is your fair share of the money that I worked to earn?"

 

[carpediem]

Work requirements are racist! How long until we hear that?

I forget what I was watching, maybe a Mark Dice video.
A guy was talking to a bunch of kids (8-10yrs old) in a project in Chicago about life and their future.
One of the kids was looking forward to turning 18 so he could get his own check.
The interviewer asked what he wanted to do for a living.
The kid said, "I mean my state check and food card".
I shit you not, these kids believe the "state check" and "food card" are just the way life is.
Ill find the video.
