Starvation will not happen in the US, because there is an abundance of food everywhere.

What will happen is people with no money who are hungry will commit crimes, and end up in jail.

Which will get them food, medical care etc, but cost WAY more.

Even if you cut back on how much is spent on theprisoners and make it even worse (and many prisons are already pretty horrible due to over crowding), it still will cost taxpayers far more then the current program.

That being said, no food stamps without work is a fine program IF you ensure that anyone who needs foodstamps has a job they can do to receive them (even if it's 2 hours a day or something doing community service, cleaning a park etc).

I'm all for no food without work, but the work part needs to be made available for everyone, even those with disabilities (answering phones etc).

Just cutting programs and telling people to handle it, is just going to create more crime and more deperate people....it will lead to more spending not less, and more misery all around, including for those who are already working and have been.
