Food Stamp Rolls Plummet
Another Obama failure that the republicans began fixing, and has seen very positive results. Enforce work requirements, and people's incomes go up and reliance on food stamps goes down.

According to AL.com, the number of those recipients declined from 5,538 to 831 between Jan. 1 and the beginning of May – an 85 percent drop.

Similar changes were implemented in select counties in Georgia and by the end of the first three months, the number of adults receiving benefits in three participating counties dropped 58 percent, according to the Georgia Public Policy Foundation.

An analysis of a group of 7,000 Mainers who left SNAP in 2014 found their total earnings increased from $3.85 million in the third quarter 2014 to $8.24 million in the last quarter of 2015.

Kansas saw a 75 percent decline after implementing work requirements in 2013. In addition, nearly 60 percent of former beneficiaries found employment within 12 months and their incomes rose by an average of 127 percent per year, according to the Foundation for Government Accountability.

This is even more great news. Another bloated, wasteful government program trimmed down.

'bout time...

I never could understand why a work requirement was never instituted. Heck, if you're on assistance and you're able bodies you can always pick up trash along highways and parks. You can always work in city sponsored child care services, you can always work in office related jobs and if you like air conditioning you can work cleaning government offices.

the Bible says it well, those that don't work, don't eat.

I've always said that the areas where welfare utilzation is the highest should be the cleanest, nicest looking areas around.

If my ideas are implemented they should be.
