Dont like most statistics show that people dont use food stamps for too long and just use them until they get back on their feet?


These people don't give a fuck about statistics unless they can be used to fuel their own racist viewpoints

What if you cant get a job?

What if you have kids or elders who need care?

What if you have no transportation?

There are so many other pieces to this puzzle besides get a job if you want food!

Not having transportation should be grounds for living for free? Fuck. I should just quit my job and sell my car with that logic, why the hell am I working full time if it's that simple?

Aren't you that guy who is living with a girl you don't like because you can't afford to live alone?

Misery loves company!

When the fuck did I ever say I don't like my gf? She's the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love her to death

You definitely said you didn't like her. You said you work security at a retail store and you're only with her because you can't afford to live alone.

LOL. What a life.

I may have said she's necessary to continue our way of life because I couldn't afford it on my own but I definitely love her and like her.

The whole point of something like food stamps is when your not working and need it. Now if that bill was you have to be actively looking for a job to be on food stamps that would be different.

There are all kinds of waivers that eliminate the work requirement.

There are waivers for the old.
There are waivers for the disabled.
There are waivers for those who have young children.
There are waivers if unemployment in your area is high.

I'm pretty sure that even if you don't qualify for any waiver at all, you still get three months per year of benefits without the work requirement.

In Australia it works like, get a job for welfare, but if you can't get a job, show that you are trying to get a job (a log book of jobs applied for), or do shit like picking up rubbish or something idk. Just do SOMETHING to contribute to society.

America prefers working for food stamps, than adequate social security.

Disagree.

1. During WW2 when the American gov was recruiting soldiers, they turned away many people due to malnourishment. Food stamps supplement nutrition and its a matter national security because poor people fight most wars. They may not pay much in taxes but some pay with their lives. God forbid we throw them a bone. A reduction in food stamps is a reduction in potential candidates.

2. Kids who are malnourished and hungry underperform in school. Without proper nutrition, kids will never perform their best and that can have lasting consequences especially in a future economy that will be based on IQ.

There are better ways to get people to stop abusing food stamps. But I dont care. Its been a bad day for national security today. No wall. Pulling out of Syria. Infrastructure bill put on jeopardy. Crazy. I don't care what your politics are, today was not a good day for America.

The opposite is a huge problem as well. I've met people who make 40k to 60k a year and get food stamps because they know people who work in the system and cheat the system. They are taking away benefits from families who don't make enough money. It's complete bullshit.

I've seen some incredibly rich people get their kids lunch for free, using the moms 2 hour a week job as reference. All types of shit, memberships places. It's crazy.

This is one of those things that sounds good when you first hear it, but then you think about it for just five minutes and it's dumb as hell.

Time for Walmart to hire a bunch of people at minimum wage just so tax payers can continue to subsidize their wages. Give me a break.

I have a $14/hr job with a stay at home wife and 2 kids. I get $250 in food stamps. Am I proud of it? No, but with rent and car payments and insurance how else am I supposed to pay for food? Now, my wife could get a job, but the cost of child care would make her paycheck redundant.

Meanwhile, Sally over here pumps out like 6-10 kids with different baby daddies and gets 1500 in food stamps and doesn't have a job.

So, I'm more or less in agreement with the bill.

No, it isn't. Anyone who wishes not to work still has the freedom to do so. Thus by definition, it isn't slavery - let alone the fact that they're also being paid for the work.

Considering minimum wage in my state, anyone who works 20 hours without kids would probably not even qualify for much in EBT benefits. This might be good in theory but really it means if they lose that job or get one where hours vary weekly, they're fucked.

Incidentally, if we actually taxed the rich we could easily feed and provide medical care for every American but capitalists are the worst.

Trump signs bill where Americans MUST get JOBS to get FOOD STAMPS!!

No he doesn't. As you so eloquently plagiarized from an article about it, clearly not understanding what you were reading, put in a way you can understand it:

Full Throttle posted...
That was an idea Congress NIXED leaving it out of a 5 year Farm Bill that Trump signed into law!!1!

The 400 billion law reauthorized agriculture and conservation programs and LEFT the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that serves 44 million UNTOUCHED.


The bill didn't affect SNAP. The new requirements are being imposed by the Trump administration through the USDA, not by the bill that was signed.

Americans dont see it that way. The stupider the policy, the better. Apparently. This topic demonstrates that anyway.


Screw it, I don't feel like trying anymore because i'm entitled not to. Time to go on welfare. Thanks for supporting me. Its obviously easier to give up and have the government pay my way through life. To hell with everyone else.

There's hardly anywhere in America that you can afford anything more than a 1 bedroom apartment in the slums, with any sort of quality of life on welfare alone

This is such a dumb fucking argument, you should be ashamed of yourself
