Sure Trump baby, I'll get right on that once I finish these rounds of radiation/chemo treatment that may or may not improve my chances of living long enough through stage iv colon cancer so that I get enough strength back that I may immediately go find work. Yep. That's precisely the first thing I'll do.

really the biggest thing about this is almost no SNAP benefits go to families without children
if you review the actual funding provision provided, children are the main driver in receiving money so this is mostly a set of rules that apply to a tiny fraction of the program's budget and those rules will probably cost more than they save. as tends to be the case for most 'make sure welfare is being used appropriately!!!111one' legislation the job training req is probably the dumbest part of it since that directly impacts actual recipients and just creates paperwork @Balrog0 why are you not here --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Well its more like those lazy people are difficult to weed out and the measures necessary to do so will either 1) kick off lots of people who don't deserve to lose the subsidy or 2) be so expensive so as to make it cheaper just to let the perhaps 5% of abusers to just abuse the program
The thing you have to understand is that if your career goal is to live off public assistance you'll work at keeping it like it's your job because it is. It's really difficult to design hoops they won't jump through but that needy people down on their luck and trying to better themselves will. it's the other way around. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

I'm as against the welfare state as anyone else, but the way it's set up currently, just working a full-time minimum wage job means you "make too much money" to qualify for food stamps in most circumstances.
