Food stamp rolls plummet in states that restore work requirements

After the food stamp rolls swelled for years under the Obama administration, fresh figures show a dramatic reduction in states that recently have moved to restore work requirements.

States were allowed to waive those rules for able-bodied adults thanks to the 2009 economic stimulus. As the rules loosened and the economy sputtered out of the recession, food stamp enrollment soared to record levels – peaking at nearly 48 million nationwide in 2013.

Wow.  Who would have guessed that would happen?

Long overdue. Now if the FedGov would just get on the train.

States were allowed to waive those rules for able-bodied adults thanks to the 2009 economic stimulus.

Which was ridiculous, since the "stimulus" was just graft and corruption, funneled into the pockets and bank accounts of the various criminals in the Soetero crime family.
