Perhaps if you make your states really, really ____ people who vote Democrat will avoid it?

It's been working in Florida and Texas so far. We're not California yet:)

Our view of right and wrong is just irreconcilable.

That could be compounded because the three categories of originally intended recipients for supplemental food stamps, for those in poverty, were children, the disabled, and the elderly.

Would you have work requirements for children and the elderly? Work requirements for the genuinely disabled? Would you limit Oliver Twist to a single bowl of watery gruel per day?

Is there absolutely nothing the disabled and elderly can do? I'm not saying they all have to hold down a high pressure job in the private sector. I'm saying we should be able to find something for them to do instead of just writing people checks. I suppose there are comatose people incapable of doing anything at all but I don't think that adds up to 1/12th of the population.

I wouldn't be past writing checks to kids for improving their school performance. The real problem with our schools is the kids need more incentive to perform.

Food stamp enrollment plummeted after state legislatures passed work requirement reform measures to curb dependency on welfare, requiring food stamp recipients to work, volunteer, attend school, or receive job training for 20 hours per week.

Improving school performance as a way to stave off starvation is a novel idea and one that Secretary Betsy DeVoss might well be interested in.
