Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has announced that, starting in 2015, new food stamp applicants that are “able bodied” and don’t have children must work at least 20 hours, or be in job training, to receive food stamps.
Other states are considering re-instituting the requirement, like Maine and New Mexico, after it was waved following the financial crisis in 2008.

Should lower the 40hr work week. That would get these people jobs. Would also give fathers more time with their children.
1 job for every 3 working age people. Where does he expect them to find these jobs that are not there?????
Everyone should be given the rules. No work, no assistance. Illegal, no assistance. period. Never give to an illegal. This makes them demand more, more, and more.
perhaps public service jobs ?
Should have thought of stuff like that before O gave millions more a free ride on the people that are working and paying taxes
Good let them pick up trash… bet Indiana’s Food Stamp bill will go way down.
They should work!
Proud Hoosier. Thanks Mr Pence!!!!!!!!!!
Nice misdirection, taking the attention of TRILLIONS of our money being missed away by our government. One failed jet wasted enough of our tax dollars to buy every homeless person in the U.S. a $600,000 home or to just give every man,woman and child $30,000. They tax and regulate our jobs overseas and now Obama is paying companies $3,000 to hire non-citizens instead of citizens! The people milking the system are minuscule in the face of the HUGE problem that’s racking up a debt mathematically impossible to pay back. If you see someone committing fraud, you should turn them in. Why not just work these people and give them a paycheck so they can earn an honest living? I don’t know about other states, but Florida doesn’t give you a whole lot of assistance. You would be working essentially for under minimum wage here. These people cause the jobs to disappear, then get everybody all pumped up to hate the victims. SMH
That ain’t the slap in the face though. Did you hear about Obama paying companies $3,000 to hire illegals? If people think it was hard to find a job before…..
