What is it that prevents you from rapping your mind around both of us are saying true things HA? Yes, the ones who are single, with no dependents, and capable of working will lose access to benefits after 3 months under the new guidelines . . . how many of the 22 million quoted by you might fall under that provision? How many in that 22 million who are currently not working at all might now have to volunteer their time for 80 hours a month, or find a part time job, to retain their benefits? Yes, if current recipients are unwilling to adjust their lives to encompass the work requirements they will lose their benefits, the key part of that phrase being "if they are unwilling". We're not going to allow you to sit at home and not work while we support the food requirements of your household, you're going to have to do something to help support you and your families as well or lose benefits. That's not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all, and actually will help expand the number of people who support the SNAPS program because they know that there is now a concerted effort to ensure that only those for whom the program was instituted receive benefits from the program. Faith in the program is essential for the program to receive the continued support of the taxpayers who are providing the charity.

The point is that they are still eligible. Hells bells, inmates emerging from the California penitentiary system are eligible for up to 90 days too under a law passed by in 2024 by the Democrats in CA's legislature. What is changing is how long these groups will be eligible for the charity, not if they are eligible for the charity, and what they as beneficiaries of the charity, must do to continue to be eligible for the charity. The amount of charity families are eligible to receive doesn't change, it isn't being reduced, it's still at the engorged Covid-era figure enacted by Democrats.

We shouldn't be providing food to those who are homeless who refuse the help to get them off of the streets because it only allows them to stay on the streets and indulge their primary addictions and mental health challenges. They shouldn't be receiving benefits, it really is just that simple. Giving them access to food and allowing them to continue to live on the streets and indulge their primary addictions isn't humanitarian, its cruel.

BOTH CAN BE TRUE...THE DIFFERENCE IS THE R'S HAVE BEEN DECLARING A NEW SYSTEM IS REQUIRED AND YET AFTER ALL THESE YEARS....THEY DO NOT HAVE A CONCRETE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO REPLACE/ENHANCE THE PROBLEM.....THE ANSWER....JUST CUT THEM OFF......NO ALTERNATIVE TO HOW TO IMPROVE CHILD CARE TO ALLOW THE INDIVIDUAL TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED CHILD CARE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM TO GIVING A HAND UP,NOT A HAND OUT....WE R SO IMMENSELY IGNORANT OF HOW OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE CHILD CARE ISSUE.....AND IT IS BECAUSE

The Biden Regime also did nothing for Childcare or to make Healthcare insurance better.

Individual states like Colorado and New Mexico are switching kids from private daycares to public schools. They need to do testing in five years to see which system better prepared pre-schoolers. Private institutions and at home schooling or the NEA influenced public education system.

Maybe the moms can volunteer for 80 hours a week at the school that their children attend to keep their eligibility? Don't have to worry about child care then, do you. Plus, then we might be able to lower the amount the schools pay to classroom assistants, or to janitorial services and have more money to put into the classroom for supplies and union dues. Same for any governmental office building, or parks & rec department at the local level. Volunteer to clean up the graffiti in the neighborhood while the kids are in school. We're talking 80 hours a month, 20 hours a week, a part time gig.

The federal government was never designed to operate at a micro level to attend to the needs of every individual citizen. All it can do is come up with one-size-fits-none programs that are ripe for waste, fraud and abuse of the funds supplied by taxpayers.

Here's one from today's headlines . . . www.foxnews.com/us/haitian-men-charged-7...scheme-massachusetts

Tell me HA, should the beneficiaries who were fraudulently processing $500k a month through this scheme retain access to benefits from SNAPS or should they be permanently barred from the program for participation in the fraud? This is a single instance that stole $7million dollars from the poor families who rely on the program to feed their kids. Why shouldn't the program be reformed to keep such fraud down to the lowest possible amount? I think the people who participated in the fraud scheme should be among the 22 million who lose benefits, don't you?

OMG....WHAT IF THE MOTHER HAS OTHER CHILDREN UNDER AGED TO ATTEND PRE SCHOOL/SCHOOL?

AND,AH YES, WE HAVE THE EXAMPLE OF FRAUD WITHIN THE SYSTEM...WHICH OCCURS IN ANY SYSTEM...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY....LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW CORP AND GOV. OFFICIALS R MONEY LAUNDERING....VAST,ASTOUNDING AMOUNTS OF OFF SHORE/SHELL CORPORATIONS THAT SPECIFICALLY STRUCTURED TO 'CLEAN 'MONEY FOR LEGITIMATE USAGE....HIDING ASSETS AND ESCAPING TAXATION.

OMG - what if she doesn't? Why is it that she shouldn't be volunteering or working part time if she doesn't have pre-school aged children in the home HA? And, if you actually read the bill summary rather than the TDS inspired opinions, you would discover that there are, indeed, exemptions in place for those with very young children in the home . . .

Before you swallow down the collectivist nonsense with nary a single chew, why don't you, as an independent thinker, actually go research facts about the program, and educate yourself about what is truth and what is propaganda . . . if 22 million people are losing access to SNAPS benefits its because they don't meet the revised requirements of the program.

OR BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PERSONNEL IN THAT DEPARTMENT TO COUNT/.REVIEW
THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK REQUIRED FOR ELIGIBILITY .....SLICING AND DICING
STAFF FOR ALL GOV. DEPTS. IS ON GOING....IMMIGRATION CITIZENSHIP HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM...UNDERSTAFFED AND PAPERWORK PILING UP...OUT OF CONTROL...YEARS TO FINALIZE A REQUEST....IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE OVERVIEW OF A PROBLEM IS NOT BEING TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT....U SEE IT AS A FORGONE CONCLUSION THAT THIS SOLUTION IS SOLVING THE PROBLEM...WHEN, IN FACT, IT IS AN ONCOMING TRAIN OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES....WAIT AND WATCH...BECAUSE U AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET....BREAK DOWN OF A SOCIETY. JMO

Support the opinion with some actual facts HA . . . anyone can have an irrational opinion based on an active case of TDS . . . as your references regularly illustrate.

R U TELLING ME IT IS NOT A WELL KNOW FACT THAT THE IMMIGRATION DEPT IS YEARS IN ARREARS OF COMPLETING A REQUEST FOR LEGAL CITIZENSHIP?.......OR U TELL ME THAT THE AMOUNT OF PERSONNEL LET GO (IN ALL DEPTS.) IS NEGLIGIBLE? R U TELLING ME THAT WHAT I JUST POSTED IS BULLSHIT? I AM NOT GOING TO YOUR WORK.....U PROVE THAT I AM WRONG.
