President Trump Suggests Those Getting A Check Have To Do SOMETHING To Earn It...

SNAP is NOT a federal program. Yes, Federal money does go into it but so does state and county funds. It's administered by the State and County as well as the Metros and towns. What I would like to see is for them to clean that system up. Why is Energy Drinks and Soft Drinks on the list of what you can buy along with a lot of other "Luxury" items? The Frauds that have gone on have been done using these items. Just take them off the list. And let's not forget the Cash Withdrawals as well. If they want cash, I am sure that there is some kind off labor that can be done for the community for that "Cash". Get the "'Cash" off the Snap system.

SNAP is a nutrition program. It uses federal fund to reimburse schools in the program for meals served. They get reimbursed for all meal served including to kids who are from household that do not qualify for other types of assistance based on household income. But seriously the amount they get is not really a whole hell of a lot.

What Benefits Can You Expect If You're Eligible for SNAP?

But I have no problem with making able bodies do some kind of work if that is what the State decided. I think localities should be given more leeway for poverty stricken areas.

They have more leeway. Jesse Ventura started a program when he was Governor that has been largely adopted and works quite well. Unfortunately, some have found ways around that as well. But it's tough to condemn the poor for using loopholes to cheat the system when we encourage the uber rich to do the same.
except that the uber rich pay for the uber poor. right?

Yeah, and the tiny amount of aid that goes to the uber poor guy's kids helps him/her grow up to be able to volunteer for our uber strong Military. Then he or she can deploy overseas to one of our uber necessary wars to protect the uber rich guys (and uber kids) uber fortune.

Over-ubering????
well the uber rich give jobs to the uber middle class as well as paying for the uber poor. It is uber rich that allowed you to use your uber computer to have this uber conversation. you wouldn't even have uber toilet paper without uber rich.

Uber Bullshit. The uber rich are uber hoarders who give jobs to illegal immigrants to avoid paying taxes or having any continuing responsibly for the workforce . Time to make America uber great again. Like the good old days.

President Trump proposes vast work-for-benefits requirements, setting up clash with Libs in Congress

Before any snowflakes star raising hell ....ignorantly... please make sure you fully understand that THERE ALREAYD ARE FOR-BENEFITS WORK REQUIREMENTS. President Trump is not creatnig anything NEW - he is calling for their expansion.


"The budget aims to implement new welfare requirements -- namely, that Americans 18-65 years old work at least 20 hours a week in a job, a job training program or a community service program to secure a range of benefits and aid.

According to the administration, the work requirement would apply to federal programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and federal housing, but would come with a hardship exemption.
Last year, the administration opened the door for states to impose work requirements for Medicaid recipients. This part of the budget proposal would bring those work requirements to the federal level.

The proposal would represent an expansion of work requirements, though some already are in place. For the past several administrations, able-bodied recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) have mostly had to work at least 80 hours a month -- while recipients of traditional welfare known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) have also faced work requirements."


Trump releases budget seeking billions for border wall, work requirements for welfare programs

Of course, no one who is not physically unable to work will not have their benefits stripped from them.

IMO, the 'possibility of Random Drug Tests' should also be included, and anyone who gets caught in one of these random (rare) drug tests as doing illegal drugs while able-bodied and not working should be booted from the programs...IMHO...





A single mother with young children...are they going to work?

What about two adults in a household, do they both have to work?
Yes single mothers should work at least part time.

Yes both parents should work. The majority of those households paying your welfare have two working parents so get your ass out there and do something.
 
The federal aid should go back to the states who paid it and the states should decide on the rules for the recipients.

It's a grandstand, get more votes, move.. Most of what it wants to cover is already done by the States. If a state wants that type of program they can have it. I support the state doing just that.

And there are plenty of "Jobs" that these people can do. Even if it's only a day a week or a couple of hours a day. Same goes for unemployment insurance. How much skill does it take to fill a pothole using a shovel, rake and a wheel barrow with proper supervision. How much skill does it take to pick up trash along highways. How much skill does it take to be a school crossing guard. And then there are the non profits that could use assistance as well. No American should be GIVEN anything.

SNAP is NOT a federal program. Yes, Federal money does go into it but so does state and county funds. It's administered by the State and County as well as the Metros and towns.

If they want cash, I am sure that there is some kind off labor that can be done for the community for that "Cash". Get the "'Cash" off the Snap system.

But it's not up to the Federals to do it. It must happen from the States. And any Federal that keeps saying, "Here, let me" will lose in a Federal Court as that would be deemed Unconstitutional big time. What the Feds can do is to remove the money they are sending for those programs until the State starts doing it smarter. But that's it. The State can tell the Feds to keep their money and go pound sand.

Thanks for some intelligent insight ! Finally at least one other person get's it! The system is "fat" with fraud and abuse. :11_2_1043:

Maybe she should be nicer, or more careful and she wouldn't be a single mother! It disturbs me when someone is pro life and then turns around and complains about the struggle of having a child Unfortunately some women choose to have children they can't or aren't willing to support and care for NOT MY PROBLEM! Go find daddy and have the courts take his money if he has a job. I raised 2 children me and my wife both worked. It was a struggle sometimes. :banana:

They have more leeway. Jesse Ventura started a program when he was Governor that has been largely adopted and works quite well. Unfortunately, some have found ways around that as well. But it's tough to condemn the poor for using loopholes to cheat the system when we encourage the uber rich to do the same.
except that the uber rich pay for the uber poor. right?

Yeah, and the tiny amount of aid that goes to the uber poor guy's kids helps him/her grow up to be able to volunteer for our uber strong Military. Then he or she can deploy overseas to one of our uber necessary wars to protect the uber rich guys (and uber kids) uber fortune.

Over-ubering????
well the uber rich give jobs to the uber middle class as well as paying for the uber poor. It is uber rich that allowed you to use your uber computer to have this uber conversation. you wouldn't even have uber toilet paper without uber rich.

Uber Bullshit. The uber rich are uber hoarders who give jobs to illegal immigrants to avoid paying taxes or having any continuing responsibly for the workforce . Time to make America uber great again. Like the good old days.
then the uber politicians should be uber removed.

Uber needed Amendments to the Constitution.

Term limits on Congress.

Balanced budget.

Limited electioneering

It sounds good in theory but how Republicans implement it is not. Republicans just use this as a excuse to kick people off of programs then brag about how many people are off the rolls. A real program would be modeled after programs created for displaced workers. Workers could get retrained for new jobs and get a 2 year stipend. It could be used at a college or some other training program. Then once you completed your training, you could get assistance for moving to a new job.

Random drug tests are a waste of time and money.

who watched the kids?
seriously? too fking funny. My family who didn't work. ever hear of grandparents? or are you saying that not only doesn't the father get rights, neither do grandparents? Are you now going to say the grandparents want their kids to die? well you are for abortion, so, shit, got it.

If grandparents are not there? What I am saying is not everyone has the support system nearby. You just assume all this shit. Let granny watch the kids. Maybe Granny needed caring too. But you you, everyone without a job is lazy. That is why you are such an ass.
 
...not just sit on their ass until time to walk to the mailbox to pick up their tax-payer funded check.



President Trump proposes vast work-for-benefits requirements, setting up clash with Libs in Congress

Before any snowflakes star raising hell ....ignorantly... please make sure you fully understand that THERE ALREAYD ARE FOR-BENEFITS WORK REQUIREMENTS. President Trump is not creatnig anything NEW - he is calling for their expansion.


"The budget aims to implement new welfare requirements -- namely, that Americans 18-65 years old work at least 20 hours a week in a job, a job training program or a community service program to secure a range of benefits and aid.

According to the administration, the work requirement would apply to federal programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and federal housing, but would come with a hardship exemption.
Last year, the administration opened the door for states to impose work requirements for Medicaid recipients. This part of the budget proposal would bring those work requirements to the federal level.

The proposal would represent an expansion of work requirements, though some already are in place. For the past several administrations, able-bodied recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) have mostly had to work at least 80 hours a month -- while recipients of traditional welfare known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) have also faced work requirements."


Trump releases budget seeking billions for border wall, work requirements for welfare programs

Of course, no one who is not physically unable to work will not have their benefits stripped from them.

IMO, the 'possibility of Random Drug Tests' should also be included, and anyone who gets caught in one of these random (rare) drug tests as doing illegal drugs while able-bodied and not working should be booted from the programs...IMHO...





It sounds good in theory but how Republicans implement it is not. Republicans just use this as a excuse to kick people off of programs then brag about how many people are off the rolls. A real program would be modeled after programs created for displaced workers. Workers could get retrained for new jobs and get a 2 year stipend. It could be used at a college or some other training program. Then once you completed your training, you could get assistance for moving to a new job.

Random drug tests are a waste of time and money.
it worked in the 90's under clinton. are you denying that?
Yes.

No more drug testing unless we drug test those passing the laws & running our government.

but there are places that will help, they do exist. catholic charities for example. I know how you all hate catholics and all, but then can't accept what benefits they have.

We are talking about Republicans and we are seeing it happen now. Requirements for a program are so stiff that they are designed to kick people off the rolls. Then Republicans brag about how many people are no longer on the welfare rolls. Republicans want to screw everyone except the well off and rich.
 
Yeah, and the tiny amount of aid that goes to the uber poor guy's kids helps him/her grow up to be able to volunteer for our uber strong Military. Then he or she can deploy overseas to one of our uber necessary wars to protect the uber rich guys (and uber kids) uber fortune.

Over-ubering????
well the uber rich give jobs to the uber middle class as well as paying for the uber poor. It is uber rich that allowed you to use your uber computer to have this uber conversation. you wouldn't even have uber toilet paper without uber rich.

Uber Bullshit. The uber rich are uber hoarders who give jobs to illegal immigrants to avoid paying taxes or having any continuing responsibly for the workforce . Time to make America uber great again. Like the good old days.
then the uber politicians should be uber removed.

Uber needed Amendments to the Constitution.

Term limits on Congress.

Balanced budget.

Limited electioneering
no funding campaigns, how's about that uber piece?

Meh I have no problem funding campaign events like debates and stuff but money to individuals to campaign with? Nope.

A single mother with young children...are they going to work?

What about two adults in a household, do they both have to work?

If they have to! Let's see 2 adults in a household? Married or unmarried? You see I can have a child with a woman who receives Federal assistance but doesn't identify me as the father. Then once she gets into Federal Housing I can move my shit in go to work everyday and not have to pay for the health care or need to provide food to my child, I don't have to pay rent or assume any responsibility for it's up keep. Welfare system is a great living for a lot of people. Make women Identify the Biological father before approving benefits big problem solved. Thank you! Call it the "you make it you own it bill".:dance:
 
The federal aid should go back to the states who paid it and the states should decide on the rules for the recipients.

It's a grandstand, get more votes, move.. Most of what it wants to cover is already done by the States. If a state wants that type of program they can have it. I support the state doing just that.

And there are plenty of "Jobs" that these people can do. Even if it's only a day a week or a couple of hours a day. Same goes for unemployment insurance. How much skill does it take to fill a pothole using a shovel, rake and a wheel barrow with proper supervision. How much skill does it take to pick up trash along highways. How much skill does it take to be a school crossing guard. And then there are the non profits that could use assistance as well. No American should be GIVEN anything.

SNAP is NOT a federal program. Yes, Federal money does go into it but so does state and county funds. It's administered by the State and County as well as the Metros and towns. What I would like to see is for them to clean that system up. Why is Energy Drinks and Soft Drinks on the list of what you can buy along with a lot of other "Luxury" items? The Frauds that have gone on have been done using these items. Just take them off the list. And let's not forget the Cash Withdrawals as well. If they want cash, I am sure that there is some kind off labor that can be done for the community for that "Cash". Get the "'Cash" off the Snap system.

But it's not up to the Federals to do it. It must happen from the States. And any Federal that keeps saying, "Here, let me" will lose in a Federal Court as that would be deemed Unconstitutional big time. What the Feds can do is to remove the money they are sending for those programs until the State starts doing it smarter. But that's it. The State can tell the Feds to keep their money and go pound sand.

Thanks for some intelligent insight ! Finally at least one other person get's it! The system is "fat" with fraud and abuse. :11_2_1043:

A single mother with young children...are they going to work?

What about two adults in a household, do they both have to work?

Maybe she should be nicer, or more careful and she wouldn't be a single mother! It disturbs me when someone is pro life and then turns around and complains about the struggle of having a child Unfortunately some women choose to have children they can't or aren't willing to support and care for NOT MY PROBLEM! Go find daddy and have the courts take his money if he has a job. I raised 2 children me and my wife both worked. It was a struggle sometimes. :banana:
My mother became a single mother with 4 kids under ten. What are you saying about her?
so no dad? why are you against dads paying child support?
See how you assfucks make assumptions.

My mother became a single mom when her husband died of Leukemia.

You people think you have all the answers. You don't have shit but your God damn ignornce.

Single parents with no support system. Families where one parent can work but not the other who is taking care of the kids or maybe the elderly relative.

No work within their neighborhoods & they don't have transportation. Or the part time job gets eaten alive by transportation costs.
