Got ideas for getting getting able-bodied people back to work and off of food stamps?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to know.
The agency is soliciting ideas from the public that promote "work and self-sufficiency among able-bodied adults participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and related services."
The public will be able to provide input beginning Friday on the Federal Register's web site (https://www.federalregister.gov). The comment period will be open through April 9.

Which is why I can't decide between Oyarde/AF 2020 and AF/Oyarde 2020.

This is the best answer. We should do to that what we did to Republican primary internet polls in 2008.

Politician says: just rename it (STOPP, subsidies to obtain popularity program), and then campaign as a fiscal conservative

Individual liberty -protect it -promote it.

The USDA doesn't really want answers that would bring on it's own demise. Ain't natural.

Cancel all recipients. Make them re-apply with new requirements, verifications and investigations.

I was gonna say basically the same thing, but, yes, exactly.

I think a bit more needs to be said however. If they did stop, we would be stuck exactly where we are right now, and that is not a good place to be. If anything, the people need the purchasing power / value of the currency to be restored. That is the ONLY way to truly get people off Food Stamps. Since the solution is economic, Zippy ought be along shortly to tell people how strong the purchasing power of the fiat dollar is by throwing up some govt definitions or charts and claiming that people are not going in debt just to maintain their lifestyle, which is hardly beyond their means.

Perhaps another way to phrase this is "dont make the common man go into debt just to eat".

Easier said than done for a lot of folks. http://time.com/money/4758109/unemployment-is-really-low-so-why-cant-these-people-find-jobs/ But it seems lots of these people just don't want to do work that is "beneath" them-like blue collar stuff. :rolleyes:
