thousands of others in Ohio and across this great nation will soon have their food assistance cut by actions taken by the current administration due to more restrictive work requirements.

I know!
Isn't that great?!?

ETA: It's obvious you don't even know what the new "restrictions" are so let me help you out.

1) The new restrictions ONLY apply to "able bodied adults under the age of 50 who don't have any dependents."

Adults 50 years of age and older will not be affected. Adults with dependents will not be affected. So children will not be affected. Adults with health issues will not be affected.

2) Everyone will be eligible for food assistance for three months.

3) After the three months, able bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 with no dependents will be required to either have a job OR be in training for at least 20 hours a week which would help them find a job in order for them to continue to receive food assistance.

4) If unemployment in the area where the person lives is 20% higher than the national average, the person can be given an exemption from the work requirement in #3 above as administered by the state, not the federal government, where the person resides.

I agree with all of those requirements because none of them sound very onerous. Able bodied adults between 18 and 49 years of age without any dependents SHOULD be either working or learning skills to be able to work.
