it is about time
Frank Antenori the Tucson Republican is sponsoring legislation to make public assistance off-limits to those who do not comply.
That would mean a single bottle of beer could cost a family its food stamps, free health care and any other welfare benefits. Antenori said he has no problem with that.

I think it will stay, so long as it doesn't get political.
So here's a question. Suppose your dad or mom makes some real poor decisions. Should you as a child go hungry as a consequence?
I think that is how some would see it. I think that's the way I see it, and would automatically think it a bad idea. However...
The children aren't going to go hungry. If they have the manpower to observe and enforce, the children will not be left without.
So, once you look into it, it is EXACTLY how things should be done: "Reward the behavior we most want to see".

are the children being taken care of now? for a while I lived in South Phoenix, you could buy food stamps in front of the IGA for way below face value, so no the kids are not getting what they are supposed to when the parents sell the food stamps to buy booze.

The state of New Hampshire used to require able bodied public aid recipients to work for their stipend. They mostly did clean up work in towns...snow removel...etc. Nothing wrong with making them work for their $$$$.
Unfortunately...a fair number of children don't seem to be receiving the benefits they should. It's not easy to legislate good parenting skills.

If mom and dad (ASSuming the 2 are in the picture) are making poor decisions, then the kid is more than likely already hungry.
