CRS report: number of able-bodied adults on food stamps doubled after Obama suspended work requirement

Obama administration officials have insisted that their decision to grant states waivers to redefine work requirements for welfare recipients would not “gut” the landmark 1996 welfare reform law. But a new report from the Congressional Research Service obtained by the Washington Examiner suggests that the administration’s suspension of a separate welfare work requirement has already helped explode the number of able-bodied Americans on food stamps.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcment has the authority over this area, and has arrested and prosecuted cases of food stamp fraud and abuse in the past.  I imagine they simply don't go after the individual when they should...  something like all the Medicare fraud that Congress always says they will clean up?

Lizzie, do some research and find out about the legal issues around this in Florida then let me know. We do have the power of the voice of "we the people" and we can get the word out to thousands in Florida. If it is something worth doing then jump on it.  Leanne

The state of Florida has the power to investigate the abuse, but are they?  I doubt it.

They use the money for everything and anything and this administration probably giggles about it and figures they will vote for them so let them.  They don't care about this country; all they care about is themselves, their ideology and getting re-elected so they can finish destroying the country and these lazy shiftless people will help them take our country down and are mostly so self centered and grabby, they don't even know the food stamps are the shill in this whole thing.

People have been scamming the food stamp program since the 70's.  They need to go after the retailers who are participating in the scam..

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
