Now that the House of Representatives has voted 407-0 to pay the furloughed federal workers for doing nothing, how can the GOP support requiring people receiving welfare and food stamps to work? I never did understand the food stamp work requirement. Most families on food stamps have someone in the family working and not making very much money or they are elderly and living on social security. Are we going to make an 83 old widow go to work for her food stamps?
From Paul Krugman today:
"It has been obvious for years that the modern Republican Party is no longer capable of thinking seriously about policy. Whether the issue is climate change or inflation, party members believe what they want to believe, and any contrary evidence is dismissed as a hoax, the product of vast liberal conspiracies."
