GOP getting warmed up, cut a million from food stamp rolls. Getting ready or the election.

Over 1 million face loss of food aid over work requirements

In Tennessee, Terry Work said her 27-year-old deaf son recently was denied disability payments, meaning he is considered able-bodied. And that means he stands to lose his food stamps, even though she said her son has trouble keeping a job because of his deafness.

North Carolina's Republican-led government enacted a law last fall accelerating implementation of the work requirements and barring the state from seeking waivers unless there is a natural disaster. State Sen. Ralph Hise said the state was doing a disservice to the unemployed by providing them long-term food aid.

A study of 4,145 food stamp recipients in Franklin County, Ohio, who became subject to work requirements between December 2013 and February 2015 found that more than 30 percent said they had physical or mental limitations that affected their ability to work. A similar percentage had no high school diploma or equivalency degree. And 61 percent lacked a driver's license.

Don't paint hard hearted Republicans with a broad brush.

The fed gov should cut food stamps. There is no constitutional authorization for them.

Ah! If we could just use the constitution as a panacea! Let's harken back to the 18th century when there were no paved roads, rum was used as an anesthetic and only White property owning men could vote! The good old days for just White property owning men.

Article I, section 8 lists the legislative powers that the states granted their agent, the federal government. Can you find any clause that grants congress the power to subsidize oil companies?

Apparently you can't comprehend simple english.

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes;


Commerce with foreign nations. If you wish to include oil into that meaning, then so be it.

Did the states, when they established their compact, give their agent, the federal government, the legislative power to issue food stamps?

But to back up a step, you are aware that the federal government doesn't have plenary power but only has the specific, enumerated powers delegated to it by the sovereign states? If you don't understand this, then there's no point in continuing.

Then why were they not feeding the hungry after the Constitution was law of the land?
