After the food stamp rolls swelled for years under the Obama administration, fresh figures show a dramatic reduction in states that recently have moved to restore work requirements.

Alabama began 2017 by requiring able-bodied adults without children in 13 counties to either find a job or participate in work training as a condition for continuing to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

According to AL.com, the number of those recipients declined from 5,538 to 831 between Jan. 1 and the beginning of May – an 85 percent drop.

Similar changes were implemented in select counties in Georgia and by the end of the first three months, the number of adults receiving benefits in three participating counties dropped 58 percent, according to the Georgia Public Policy Foundation.

Kansas saw a 75 percent decline after implementing work requirements in 2013. In addition, nearly 60 percent of former beneficiaries found employment within 12 months and their incomes rose by an average of 127 percent per year, according to the Foundation for Government Accountability.

Democrats love when people are layabouts, hung over and stoned, getting a welfare check, and just show up for a vote.

I dunno, but I'd bet Trump and Chris Christie hoarded most of the food stamps and WIC coupons.
Their waistlines have the telltale look of too much Gov cheese and Lil Debbie snack cakes.

As usual, you're wrong.

The fattest people in the country vote the same way you do :

This is the filth we are supporting on wastefare. 

Welfare is bullshit and should be eliminated entirely.

It's time to end the failed experiment and let nature take its course:

The population is booming in the central area and rising on the North and Northwest sides, as well as along the South Side lakefront. But it continues to plummet in gang- and crime-plagued areas on the South Side and, to a lesser degree, on the West Side.


"The South Side has a population of 752,496, of which over 93% are African American .[43][citation needed] Some census tracts (4904 in Roseland, 7106 in Auburn Gresham) are 99% black.[44] The South Side covers 60% of the city's land area, with a higher ratio of single-family homes and larger sections zoned for industry than the rest of the city.[citation needed]"

Look at the numbers for Medicare and Medicaid. Could you imagine the amount of fraud and waste that goes on in those programs? I'd bet it's bigger than the GDP of many countries.
