Statewide, the number of able-bodied adults receiving food stamps has fallen by almost 35,000 people since Jan. 1, 2016. Each recipient receives about $126 a month in benefits.
Nationwide, there are about 44 million people receiving SNAP benefits at a cost of about $71 billion. The Trump administration has vowed to cut the food stamp rolls over the next decade, including ensuring that able-bodied adults recipients are working.

So if you pay 20k in taxes you would qualify for like .5 of an FTE to come work at your house and do what you tell em. They could come work in family groups if you were real wealthy. Maybe they could even live in a small house in the plant.....property.

Now it is time to start looking at whether crime goes up in those counties

"Each recipient receives about $126 a month in benefits."
Are we really complaining about $126 a month? I am anti-welfare, but this is such a small amount of money.
Guarantee all of you received a bigger handout weekly from your parents.

Based on the trend, the number of (able-bodied adults without dependents) recipients for SNAP benefits is expected to continue to decline statewide and in the formerly 13 exempted counties," according to Alabama DHR spokesperson John Hardy.
If you want back in the food stamp program, just get you some dependents. Fricking loopholes

You're awfully cavalier about taking other people's money. There's a lot of things I can do with my own money if the government didn't confiscate it and give it to others that refuse to work.
If $126/month isn't very much, how about you send me a check for that amount on the 1st?

It adds up though. And it is a system that basically encourages people to have more kids that they cannot afford on their own...each kid is more $$$.
ETA: My family depends on government assistance (my dad and mom really need their meager social security checks and my little brother also gets a check from social security for his mental disability). If I thought they could qualify...I would have them apply for food stamps because every little bit helps them and they have been through enough the past few years. I don't want government assistance programs to go away...I just want it to go towards those that really need it instead of those that "work the system".

Keep in mind that 1 out of every 5 Alabamians received Food Stamps in 2015 and Alabama alone gave out 1.3 billion that year.

Question: why not also include recipients with dependants?
It's not my fricking place to feed anyone else's kids.
Can't afford to feed them, don't have them.

If I'm not mistaken, all of those counties are in - or near - the blackbelt region. This is an area of rich glacial til that extends from around Tupelo, MS, southward into AL and east to near the GA line. It was the sight of many large plantation operations. Interestingly enough, the counties in that region tend to vote democrat.
My family is from Greene County, and my uncle owns the Piggly Wiggly in Eutaw. He probably receives just as much if not more in food stamps each month than he does in cash. They also use him instead of a bank for check cashing

They would go home or stay home in the first place, as there would not be work for them.

I pay my taxes. Its a lot more than $126 a month. And I'm sure a portion of that already does go to you.

Not a new concept...
“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” ~B. Franklin

I'm not sure what effect it would have.
If a person gets $100 in food stamps and shops at Walmart....will that SAME person shop elsewhere with $100 he/she earned from employment?
I don't think so. The "category" of the revenue (Walmart's) might change. But, the Total Revenue likely will not.
Finally, someone that gets it
thank you!
