re: Food Stamp Myths Debunked

Here's another food stamp fact. Maine just enacted a measure saying food stamp recipients need to work 20 hours a week, or do 24 hours of volunteer work a month to keep food stamp benefits.
You would think with the "myths" you posted that not many would be affected, considering most of them work right?
Well just 24 hours a month of required work cut the number of recipients 80%!
80% of people were not even willing to work LESS THAN AN HOUR A DAY!

Except that is skewed and you last sentence is blatantly false. All Recipients have not been reduced by 80%. Those are able bodied non-disabled adults who do not have children. Also, many of those are no longer on the program because they have found work and no longer qualify.
