Starting next year, Indiana is set to eliminate food stamp benefits for tens of thousands of people who either cannot get a job, or refuse to attend job training, the Indianapolis Star reports.
If able-bodied adults without children do not find work or participate in a 20-hour-a-week job training program, benefits will be strictly limited to a three-month period. Workers usually receive $131 a month from the food stamp program.
The time limit is normally listed as a necessary condition to receiving benefit money. Most states qualify to waive the requirement, but although Indiana is a state that similarly qualifies, they have decided that time-limits are a useful tool to keep around. In the rest of the country, 28 other states are taking advantage of waiver for the entire fiscal year, while 14 only rely on the waiver for part of the year.

Finally some sanity, Unfortunately, some bleeding heart liberal will take this to court, cause, you know, that's just not fair!
ReplyDeleteIt's all the mans fault.......:)
DeleteAssign some of these food stamp recipients to the public schools as teachers aids....in the very classes that their kids are in. That should be a wake up call.
ReplyDeleteThat's an idea.

DeleteYou got it!
Great now they will all move from Indianna to here. Really though its a wake up call. We have a national problem with people being career welfare recipients. They breed children as a means of income. I dont have a problem helping out those in need when jobs are lost or someone is truely injured. Heres the kicker though. I bet the feds will strike this down because it goes against the grand design of keeping people dependant on govt.
ReplyDeleteIt started out as relief which made some sense, but has degenerated into a den of iniquity.
