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.
If Edwards would say that's the reason I'd get it. This "lack of job training" shite is nonsense.

Yep. Start off with a min wage job and work your way out...you are still getting the food stamps but you are working towards not needing them.

Didn't take long for Edwards to start acting like the Democrat he is.
Stupid people need to remember that elections have consequences.

What if you get sick and lose your job?
What if your boss orders you to commit an unethical/illegal act and you refuse...so he fires you?

Life is not that simple and it is not always that easy for everyone.
How about we just execute all people who score below a certain level on IQ tests...lets do it in, say, 5th grade. That will take care of a lot of this problem!!!

I know people are always ready to jump on political parties and all buy why did this take Jindal 8 years to implement?

What do you mean "didn't take him long"? Outside of MAYBE abortion (which is a federal issue for the most part anyway), he is in lockstep with the Democrat's platform. His ENTIRE campaign centered around David Vitter having sex with hookers. In a deep-red state he touted virtually NOTHING about his agenda if elected Gov. Yet, moron "Republicans" couldn't see through the thinly-veiled charade. Now you're surprised you're getting exactly what you voted for? JBE didn't "trick" the general populace of Louisiana. The general populace was too stupid to look past David Vitter being a shitty person. You weren't voting for your next brother-in-law, jackasses. You were voting for the Governor. I'll say this though. At least JBE is very honorable while he sticks it the minority of "producers" in this state.

but it really is. Life isn't supposed to be easy...if you choose to be lazy and depend on others you deserve to starve to death. We are only talking about the people who are perfectly able to work and provide for themselves but choose to live off taxpayers...with the proper motivation (going hungry) they will find a way to work.

We have a vet with one leg doing fire watch work making almost 20.00 an hour to sit on a bucket with an air horn,sniffer, and log. This is total bullshite.

This is just the very beginning of what is to come. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up being a 1 term governor.

This won't cost Louisianans a thing.
Louisiana's unemployment rate has gone up with the price of oil crash...all those low-medium IQ roustabouts will now be taking the Wendy's jobs from the low IQ Food Stamp people.
Times Picayune
Gov.-elect John Bel Edwards said Monday (Dec. 21) that he's asking the federal government and the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services not to interrupt food stamp benefits to about 31,000 residents. As of Jan. 1, those residents faced the possibility of losing the assistance because Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration decided not to apply for a waiver that would have allowed the federal benefit to continue in Louisiana.
With a waiver, states that have higher-than-average unemployment rates may continue to receive benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Louisiana has the fifth-highest unemployment rate in the United States; it rose from 6.2 percent to 6.3 percent in November, according to The Associated Press.
The benefits cutoff affects low-income, able-bodied adults without children and younger than 49 if they work fewer than 20 hours a week. Most beneficiaries receive $194 per month in food stamps. Edwards, who becomes governor at noon on Jan. 11, said he will direct the Children and Family Services Department and the Legislature to develop workforce training programs for SNAP recipients who are unable to find work.
It remains unclear how Edwards' directive will be implemented, considering he is not yet governor. Edwards' transition team said in a statement that the governor-elect sent letters telling the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP, and the state department he will request the waiver that Jindal's administration decided not to obtain.
People who will be affected by the benefits cutoff would typically receive their assistance Jan. 6. A pending lawsuit against the state seeks to block the benefits cutoff. Attorneys on that case did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Gov.-elect Edwards' transition team staff is working with DCFS staff to try to avoid any interruption of benefits and to determine whether, upon a Jan. 11, 2016, official request, the federal government could possibly make the distribution of ... benefits under the waiver retroactive to Oct. 1, 2015," the transition team said in a statement.
The transition team said about $72 million in benefits flows to the state annually under SNAP. "The entire $72 million is federally funded and will not require any additional state funds to continue," the team's statement said.
The state first estimated that more than 62,000 people would be affected by the benefits cutoff. That number has been whittled to 31,000 since beneficiaries were first notified of plan changes in October.
"The best way to break the cycle of poverty is for individuals to get a job and get off of government assistance," the Jindal administration said in a statement. "Having a job is empowering. This decision will mean more able-bodied Louisianians will be dependent on the government and discouraged from joining the workforce."
