my responses:
100 applicants for one job, and they expect everyone to have a job? give me a break, sure there are some who live on welfare and have no desire to change this, but its the exception, not the rule, most of the ppl I have known want to get a job and not rely on the government, but some ppl do not have the mental faculties to hold a job, plus the judgementalism in the work place, judging ppl without learning the truth, tends to get them fired, regardless of any 'truths', IOW they see a guy who has a hard time paying attention and gets distracted a lot (ADHD) instead of working with them, they fire them because there is always someone waiting in line for the job, it is easier to fire someone than work with them. and we are talking foodstamps, not cash assistance, foodstamps has been a godsend to some, with limited income, the foodstamps help pay the rent, since the cash from groceries are being saved. this whole thing is an attitude against those without the mental faculties to keep a job and the poor, it is predjudice at its worse, biased at best. it is an attempt of politicians to kiss the butts of those with money at the expense of those without. also there is just not enough jobs to support this action. they say 'get a job' but those same ppl will not offer a job to them nor help them in any way. and we want to support this?? no do not make that a policy. they can still help ppl find jobs and train them without cutting their foodstamps. for the record, I am on disability for ADHD, I get 824 a month after they take out 100 for medicare, I only get $10 a month in foodstamps.. I told them to keep it, but they refused..it takes two three month to get enough to do anything with.. can you live on $824 a month?
btw, I wasn't diagnosed till I was 40.. means I did not know before. imagine how many others are out there struggling not knowing they have an actual disability.

as far as any comment to 'I am paying for this' , don't you realize each individual is pry only paying $1 out of their checks for gov assistance programs.. how noble of all of you who do not want to contribute a single dollar to help someone who struggles. and we wonder why the world is going to hell.
--
the rich get richer.. the poor get poorer.. if ppl would step up and help those in need, we would not need the gov to do it.
