Mulvaney: "if you're on food stamps and able bodied, you need to be working" Left freaks

TRUMP admin doing work

I'd be considered liberal by most on this board but I don't want anyone getting anything they don't deserve or work for.

Ummm....this is already a requirement. There are a few listed exceptions to the work requirement.

Not sure what you (and mulvaney) are going on about.

SNAP recipients are required to work

The Great Society supplanted the dignity of work with give me, give me and lessons on fleecing the system. Democrats are scared shitless of welfare reform, all of the good Clinton did was reversed by the Communist Organiser.

What about able-bodied people who can't work because they are caring for sick or indigent loved ones?

Some do work, but still need assistance. Some need assistance because they have too many children. That is the root of the damn problem. These women have to stop having kids and expect to get taken care of because of their careless actions. It is down right selfish to bring a child into the world in a unstable environment.

Its really quite simple.

Ineligible for food stamps/section 8/welfare:

18-65
No disability
No dependents

Zero exceptions. Exceptions create bureaucracy and unnecessary costs. A computer can deny claims.

I have often thought that a lifetime time limit would work. I understand the need for a safety net but it should not be for a lifetime.

I am thinking something like (government) assistance should be limited to no more than 5 years between ages 18-65. I am not including social security because that is paid into by the worker, I mean food stamps, housing, etc. for able bodied individuals.

I can understand that sometimes people get laid off and it takes time to find another job. The problem is that some people wont do a job that is "beneath" them. Taking a lower position might be humiliating, but it is a job and you can keep looking for a better job.

Hunger is a great motivator. I own my own business and make a good living, but I could leave here right now and find a job doing something (even without using my resume'). It might be bartending or delivering pizzas but it would be a job.

There could be additional time allowed if the recipient is going back to school or learning another trade, but the classes should be from a list of areas that there is a shortage of jobs. Not some worthless degree like gender studies, or theater or art history. Those areas are fine to have an interest in but historically they dont pay a wage high enough to live on.
