When Reagan recommended a similar means test called "workfare" in the 1980's, Jesse Jackson railed against the "meanness mania" spreading across America.

Thousands of people have been miraculously cured of poverty in Georgia following the state’s implementation of a requirement that all those receiving stamps must either be working, training for a job, or volunteering for a non-profit or charity.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “Georgia has been rolling out work requirements for food stamp recipients for over a year.”
The outlet states that the latest rollout saw the requirements reach 21 counties, affecting roughly 12,000 able-bodied people without children.
Those people were given until April 1 to fulfil the aforementioned requirement. But when that date rolled around, The Journal-Constitution, citing state figures, reports that more than half of the food stamp recipients were dropped from the program.
“Essentially, the number of recipients spiraled down from 11,779 to 4,528, or a drop of 62 percent,” the outlet states.
Just more proof that the greatest anti-poverty program is a job.

It also cures that dreadful disease for which, up until now, it was believed there was no cure: Culture Cancer

If this can be sustained for 15-20 years, you will see the public school start to achieve in ways previously unimaginable.
Govt handouts and failing schools go hand in hand

Maine did this last year and had an even larger percentage leave the program.

Very sad to see that we have once again turned our backs against the most needy in society.

It's time for us to get rid of the welfare state. The Dems have lost credibility and logic is on our side. Time to go on offense.

Bottom line is ...
1) We must quit paying people to breed.
2) Reopen the government cheese stores ... that's what we used to call them back in the days before big corporate supermarket lobbiests forced food stamps and EBT on us under the guise of "not embarrassing" those receiving government assistance.
3) After a certain period of time, let's say six months .... no, hell, let's make it a year - no more free handouts. You work, you contribute to society in a productive manner, in order to receive free food.
4) Drug tests. You fail the drug tests then you go into a different program for problem people.
5) Rewrite the migrant workers act, take them off the government subsidized dole.

Generations have learned to just accept a hand out. Work is for slaves.
Yet these people are blinded to the fact they are slaves to the food stamps and politicians.
