State proposes work requirement for food stamps

[Ms Tree]

It's like finding out Santana is fake.

Santa is fake?

 

[Ms Tree]

No no no. Just kidding. It's alright.

 

[Dog Wonder]

Next some one will be claiming Satan is a fraud.

So some corruption/lying (Paul) is OK, more corruption/lying (Obama and everyone else) is not.  i love moving targets.

Obama is President of The USA and Paul is nobody I know. I, too, love moving targets.

It appears all that talk about rampant fraud was more talk than actual fact.

BS......the issue is the cap for monthly earnings and asset tests. A lot of states you can get stamps with 3 cars, 2 house and $100,000 in the bank. You think someone with these liquifable assets deserves or needs stamps?

Do you have any figures on people with those kind of assets collecting food stamps?  Now I know there are people who little actual need for government handouts receiving them.  Take Congressman Stephen Fisher for example.

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed the measure after legislators learned of two cases in which people used food stamps despite winning $700,000 and $850,000 lump sum prizes.

Asset tests are set state by state.
 
Pay attention to the chart to the left when you roll over each state. look for 'no asset test' and a vehicle limit.......or no limit.
 
Notice most leaning dem are a free giveaway program? You can bring in income matching the state above poverty level requirement but still be sitting on half a million with 5 cars.  You condone this?
 
Farm subsidies aren't food stamps.....lose the argument, change the narrative....LOL

I can think of several who have superior assets collecting from the Government. Let's start with General Mills, ConAgra, ADM, Cargill. All receive welfare. It's called the Farm Subsidy.
 
Welfare is welfare no matter who collects it. The basic notion of confiscation of earnings, pooling them and giving that money to politically connected individuals or corporations is equally wrong and a slap in the face to the founding fathers.

The fact someone would -1 this proof shows just how stupid and petty libtards can be. If there is one thing a libtard hates it is facts.
 
This does not surprise me though. This is just typical libtard behavior of denying anything that does not perpetuate the liberal agenda.
 
Liberals actually think working people should support those who game the system. Idiots.

Tell you what SparrowHawk, when people sitting on the couch collecting welfare produce anything of any value like General Mills, ConAgra, ADM, and Cargill let me know.
