The savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients

Yeah, because the unemployed don’t need any help, right? /sarc

and to test applicants for drugs.

When Florida started requiring drug tests for welfare recipients, the state saved less on denying benefits for those who tested positive than the total cost of conducting all those drug tests. In other words, a net loss for the state of Florida.

Hey, lets implement that program nationwide. /sarc

These “money-saving” measures have nothing to do with curtailing waste and everything to do with reinforcing dumb old stereotypes about the poor.

Cynical f***ing snobs!
