Dems love to scream about the doomsday and end of the world scenarios they associate with changes to welfare. They label Republicans as heartless for daring to suggest working is a viable source of income instead of welfare.
Maine must be making liberal’s come unhinged as the welfare reform, put in place by Republican Gov. Paul LePage has been an enormous success, with welfare numbers dropping by 56, 506 people and unemployment also benefiting as well.
How one asks? What did they do? Read on page 2.
The Governor has been trying to get the job done but has to fight the Dems. at every turn I think if they don;t want to help they should get out way and let the Governor get the job done!!
Smartr than the normal bear !
MAINE- a state with a backbone.
I read it through.didnt seem very clear.I remember about ten years ago I applied for good stamps and they tried making me work for it.I was like why not just pay me for the work and screw the food stamps?
I’m tired of working so
Sorry Justin NY will never do anything close to this.
It’s to make sure you actually buy food. There was a time they gave money, che is but a lot were buying booze, drugs and cigarettes. I agree there are those who need help but there are far too many who just plain refuse to work. This is what the governor is trying to eliminate.
In my situation it was only food stamps not cash benefits.Which I had a problem with because I was willing to work but not just for food.It rubbed me the wrong way to think that they had me moving furniture and mopping floors just for food stamps.They should have paid me a wage instead.I only did it for two days.They still gave me the food stamps though.Probably due to the legality of it all.
Someone get it right!!!
Texas does it
