“encouraging the dignity of work” and shove it up their ass!

What’s so dignified about working at a job that won’t even feed a family?

And ... just to twist the dagger.... there’s this:

“Advocates for the poor fear other food stamp changes being studied by federal authorities would have an even larger impact on the 1.7 million Ohioans who are considered “food insecure.”

For example, a proposed change in how household utility expenses are calculated in determining food stamp eligibility would result in reduced benefits for 41% of Ohio’s 664,000 households receiving SNAP benefits, according to the Center for Community Solutions.

The average recipient, including households with children and the elderly, would lose $45 or 36% of their monthly $126 assistance to purchase food, the group said.”

So, they think the poor are living a life of luxury on $126 a month for food?? “ Let’s chop that by $45! That will make them get off their lazy asses!”

It makes my head hurt.
