After a public flirtation with requiring food stamps be used only to buy healthier foods, Gov. Nikki Haley’s administration has decided to take a different course and require more food-stamp recipients find a job.
The S.C. Department of Social Services said Friday it will seek a federal waiver for a pilot project that would require many food-stamp recipients in Bamberg, Calhoun and Orangeburg counties to prove they either have jobs or are looking for employment.
In its announcement of the proposed “SNAP Work 2 Health” waiver, Social Services cited an Ohio State University study that found Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients gained more weight the longer they received food stamps.

How dare you to treat lazy ass liberals like that
Oh that has got to be racist. Obama said he was going to give money to the lazy and put gas in their cars. Obama is redistributing the wealth. You need to get a second job so more lazy people don't have to work. That's what Obama said so that is why they voted for that dead beat Kenyan.
What if they already have two jobs that pay min wage and two kids to support?
