Is that what Jesus would do?[/quote]

Jesus would teach a person who is able to support themselves not to be on welfare their whole lives, unlike the intergenerational welfare we have now.

You are not "owed".[/quote]

I believe his primary commandment was to love. [/quote]

Not making people who are perfectly capable of independence, dependent on others is love. Tough love, but love nonetheless. [/quote]

It's a safety net. Most people are on it temporarily. This idea that the program is full of people who do not need it is not based in reality. Making people in need out to be lazy moochers isn't love, tough or otherwise. [/quote]

Not really.  Many, many are on it for years.  They are a lot of exemptions that pretty much make it possible for anyone to be on it for years. If you have children under 14 (and keep having children) or take care of anyone, you could be on it for years. You can get waivers if you meet the 20 hr per week work requirement and stay on it for years as well.  [/quote]

Call your senators. Tell them to nuke the filibuster and then make the laws even stricter. No more soda or candy or junk. No more waivers. Stricter work requirements for people with kids. It can be done with 51 votes. [/quote]

You don’t even have to actually work 20 hrs.  It’s 20 hrs OR the hours equivalent to total the monetary amount of 20 hrs at minimum wage.  But even then, there are a lot of waivers people can get to not have any work requirement at all. It isn’t difficult at all to get these waivers.  [/quote]

Most people on food stamps actually work. Those who don't usually have disabled kids, are disabled themselves or are veterans. The question we should be asking is why minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. [/quote]

Because democrats allowed a huge surplus of low wage workers to happen

Stop the overwhelming immigration and wages will rise

But the elites want more low wage workers to reduce wages to stop inflation [/quote]
People on the lower end of the economic spectrum saw their wages grow at the highest rate in decades during the Biden administration. And that’s after accounting for inflation.[/quote]

Simply not true.[/quote]

What is your statement based on? Because there is plenty of independent evidence that it is.[/quote]

The thought process motivating these braindead MAGA morons is no more sophisticated than Trump = good, Democrat = bad.[/quote]

Like every other inconvenient fact on this thread,  they’ll just ignore it. [/quote]
