Show me exactly where it says, "SCOTUS can't repeal the law."He doesn't have a filibuster proof senate. And if he does get a law passed banning welfare, the supreme court will no doubt repeal the law even though the constitution says they can't.
Then you better email SCOTUS and Congress, my friend.Show me exactly where it says, "SCOTUS can't repeal the law."He doesn't have a filibuster proof senate. And if he does get a law passed banning welfare, the supreme court will no doubt repeal the law even though the constitution says they can't.
Hey einstein - it's the very first words of the constitution after the preamble. "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states". That means the courts cannot write, rewrite, or repeal laws. Of course they do these things all the time!!!
Contrary to popular belief, I'm all for it. If you can work, you should work. There, you feel better?
End all welfare. Maybe have some shelters that give out hot food, but no more cash handouts. The food stamp shit is completely abused now.
All of you, listen. I live in Maine, in a very rural area, the poorest in the state. This change actually took place two years ago, so the results are being analyzed. The lobster fisherman who make BIG bucks in the fishing season are no longer collecting food stamps in the winter, and that's all well and good. But I work with folks who were really struggling and really trying, and it is so much different than what your smug assumptions are.
First, getting anywhere--job or volunteer--requires a vehicle, since there is NO public transportation to get there. Poor people don't have the $$ to keep a vehicle on the road. So there's that. There is also the fact that volunteer opportunities are extremely limited. They have to be non profits and be big enough and willing to train a never ending line of untrained "volunteers." Many orgs can't take advantage because of their clients -- confidentiality issues. And no place around here is large enough to absorb many. So there's that.
There is the more pressing problem that IF THERE WERE JOBS these people could do, they would already be employed. Since Obamacare, employers are only hiring part time. A lot of people around here are only skilled at seasonal labor. Some of them wouldn't be able to succeed in college, even if they had the money and could afford to go.
I have students who struggle and really work hard but can barely pay their rent at the end of the month and I have students who walk to school, walk to their jobs and sometimes they can't even afford a coat. Or the ride to the nearest Goodwill 60 miles away to buy a used one for $15. I pretend to have snack attacks a lot, so I can share some chow.
You are being very unfair. I'm glad it was only 9,000 folks that were affected, but I know some of them, and to hear you all saying what a great idea it was to cut off their food stamps? It's not always a great idea. I don't see that the money Maine has saved has pulled us out of the hole. At least up your contributions to your local food bank, if that is what you vote for. Because folks are gonna need it for awhile.

Then kids will starve you retarded mutherfucker

Poor people shouldn't have kids. THINK, white-hating racist.
Why REGURGITATE old news from a year and a half ago? This is from March of 2015?? Did your beloved right wing media have no new news to talk about???All they have to do is 24 hours per MONTH of volunteer service. But they won't even do that
Maine Drops 9000 From Food Stamps After They Refuse To Comply With Work Requirement - Patriot Chronicle
nov 16 2016 Republican Gov. Paul LePage recently began enforcing Maine’s volunteer and work requirements for food stamp SNAP recipients to keep their benefits. The end result was more than 9,000 non-disabled adults getting dropped from the program.
The rules prevent adults who are not disabled and do not have dependents from receiving food stamps for more than three months, unless they work at least 20 hours a week, participate in a work-training program, or meet volunteer guidelines for 24 hours out of the month. Any one of those three getting met will not result in the loss of their SNAP food benefits.
Let me emphasize. The least difficult of those three, is fulfilling an approved volunteer work load of just 24 hours out of an entire month. The hardest, is doing at least 20 hours of on the job work per week. Hey, only volunteering 24 hours per month is a seriously good deal to receive hundreds of dollars of free food. The average SNAP monthly benefit is approximately $477.88 per month for a four person household size. In most cases it’s even more. For 24 hours of volunteering, that’s making about $19.91 per hour. Nice!
Welfare shouldn't be a concern at the Federal level. Pass the choice and administration of such social programs to the states. Along with that comes a caveat that no Federal funding will be expended on any state directed program. States want to feed useless mouths, let the states figure out how to pay for it.This welfare system is way out of control. Trump has everything he needs to right this wrong. He has the House. He has the Senate. He has the people of this country behind him!
He doesn't have a filibuster proof senate. And if he does get a law passed banning welfare, the supreme court will no doubt repeal the law even though the constitution says they can't.
Soon as we start forcing rich prick CEO's to pay livable wages for all their employees. Works 2 ways.End all welfare. Maybe have some shelters that give out hot food, but no more cash handouts. The food stamp shit is completely abused now.
I am not say "banning" welfare...just limit it to the elderly and disabled and then abled body people for 2 years while they learn a skill. Then, Bam...you are on your own.This welfare system is way out of control. Trump has everything he needs to right this wrong. He has the House. He has the Senate. He has the people of this country behind him!

Put people to work. Nobody wants a handout if they have pride.
You know which branch makes and repeals laws, right?Show me exactly where it says, "SCOTUS can't repeal the law."This welfare system is way out of control. Trump has everything he needs to right this wrong. He has the House. He has the Senate. He has the people of this country behind him!

Welfare isn't a Christian principle and Christianity isn't defined by the unregenerate.Wow, how christian of this state.
I hope these people aren't disabled or too old to work.
