The freeloader, ultra sensitive, and out of touch voter contingent has been working out pretty well for the shittiest politicians recently... he's following suit.

He's also helping to boost the state's crab legs industry.

I think he is a POS.

Vitter was bad, but elections have consequences and this is just the beginning with this cat.

I think disabled adults fall into this category too although that's not Edwards' soap box he's standing on. He's asking for an extension in 2016 so he can set up more job training programs.

I don't like Vitter or republicans in general but this kind of stuff makes me dislike Dems too. I was mildly excited about Edwards. Was.

Wait, these requirements haven't even gone into effect yet? ...and they may not because of legal wrangling?

If it was so crucially important and such a good idea that the Republican legislature was proud of it then why did Jindal wait until he was almost out of office to push this through?

These requirements are a horrible idea and just puts more fuel onto the fire that Louisiana is the laughingstock of the nation (Mississippi be damned).

To be fair, Edwards isn't asking to totally reverse it. He's asking for a 1 year extension.

Possibly if the disability is a mental illness.

Well I don't plan on actually reading anything more than headlines so I don't actually even know what this is about. I just know I don't like lazy people.

That's a solid, irony laced response.

Jindal got away with it. He was just such a slimy piece of shite that the GOP didn't want anything to do with him.

exactly. if an able bodied adult can't find the means to keep themselves fed why should we care? let them starve...this excludes the truly disabled people.
