If Obama wasn't lying and unemployment is really down, then it should be no problem for people to find work.
Quote:Another state is making people work for food stamps, and it has some people up in arms without knowing all the details. Typical liberals, who are filled with lots of emotion but low on the facts, are worried that children and disabled people will now go without. If they did a little research, they would know this expired waiver will only affect able-bodied people with no children.
The federal waiver that has been in place since 2010 because of the recession has been allowed to expire in the state of Maine. This allows Maine to reinstate a mandate requiring able-bodied adults who are 18 to 50 years old and have no children to work or volunteer 20 hours per week or they will be limited to three months of food stamp benefits over a three-year period.

People interviewed by the Boston Globe at the local food pantry spoke with emotion against the rampant abuse of the system.
Jean Wade, in her 50’s, said she lives modestly on disability payments. As she carried bags of food to her car one recent morning, she said that too many young people in the area, including her own son, are willing to accept food stamps and work under the table. “They sneak around doing odd jobs and getting paid,” she said. “We need to be whipped into shape.”
