6 In 10 Able-Bodied Food Stamp Recipients Do Not Work At All. That Has To Change
« on: May 05, 2018, 12:48:19 am »
President Trump has quietly fired the starting gun for a race toward another round of welfare reform by signing Executive Order 13828, which directs his agencies to take a deep dive toward reforming and streamlining welfare programs. The key goals: move more able-bodied adults from welfare to work, crack down on welfare fraud, and preserve resources for the truly needy.

It is a far reaching order and much needed. But the executive order is just one vehicle for reform.

The House Committee on Agriculture released its 2018 Farm Bill in April, which deals with one of America’s largest welfare programs: food stamps. America is on the precipice of another moment, a new wave of welfare reform — reform that is long overdue and, like those adopted in the 1990s, driven by state success stories.

I still haven't found out how many of the 6/10 are parents of young children.  Any idea?

But that's the problem - you shouldn't be having more children on welfare. Or better, the pay rate should drop off dramatically for each child you have after you go on welfare, like 2/3, 1/3, and zero.

And when those kids get to preschool or kindergarten, mommy and daddy need to find a job or community service.

Sorry, was not clear. It is definitely inteneded. Any good dictator scheme has masses of unwashed dependents on the dole ready to riot at any given time, like a little personal SA.
