Thats the govt for you, forget our own people just give the $$$ to the religious extremist groups.
Our people arent as well cared for as most of the world believes.

Obviously this will teach them all to get jobs and to stop mooching off of the productive class. I'm sure they saved all that money from last years lower utility bills to pay for food so they don't need anymore from us.

Welfare queens, can you believe them sometimes?

I tried to google and see if any other state in that area is being cut and no luck. So why only Ohio?

If you want to get all scientific, it takes a lot more calories to survive, the colder it gets.

Not sure if that is a part of it.

We should just kill the people who are lazy because they hate freedoms.

The better question is what is the nominal amount of food stamps that a family of four gets in Ohio now? What is the gradient on how much you get? Will the $50 saved allow more people to be on the program? Are any families Being removed as part of this? If so should they have been getting them in the first place? In what ways will the $50.00 saved help the state or federal budget. Will it go to deficit reduction?

There is nowhere near enough info to help determine how bad this is...or if perhaps this is a good thing.......

I'm in Ohio and just saw this on the news, sooooooooo... it appears to be fact.

BUT... with the election over, there's no need to keep buying those votes. Now we need to get back to the serious business of embezzling and enriching our donors.

All this will do is hurt the economy and cause hungry people. Entirely stupid. But we have to buy more bombs to prepare for the I ran invasion....

So....since last year was a mild winter and less electricity was used to heat homes, we are going to cut $50 off food stamp benefits despite a considerable increase in food prices due to last Summers record breaking heat that burnt up crops and backyard gardens as well as the increases from higher fuel costs this year.

That makes total sense in that special politicians have no connection to reality sort of way.

.

The election is over!!! now it is time for the demoncrats to stick it to those that supported them.

Doesn't really do anything really.

$150 is not so bad really.Its "free" money so be grateful it could be $50 or $10(FL if your not working before obama).
Florida is REALLY crazy about food stamps. You get $0 in FS if your not working or looking for work in community service.

There is nothing stopping communities from starting a community based version of the same thing. Only you have to work for the benefits and also you get a normal paycheck to buy stuff with.
republicans can stop whining about people not working and "welfare" class gets ALOT more money than what you get from SSDI or Cash assistance.

7.40/hr 20hr/wk(part time so doesn't interfere with SSI ).+$592/mo with $200 in FS with low income housing(10% of gross income. make your money back...heh) and section 8(the city can sell the tax credits). 10 hours for 2 days out of the week. Community service. Pick up trash on the highway. Clean up parks,hospitals and libraries. Help renovate abandoned houses to be resold. Throw away debris (tree branches,broken up concrete,leaves,brush etc.). City/State advertisement campaigns can employ people with reduced costs.

Creates jobs. Shuts up reCORPlicans Generates tax base where there was none.
