Non-husband relayed that some gov't official suggested that recipients do 13 hours of community service a month for their SNAP benefits. I pointed out that would require childcare costs not only for the thirteen hours but also for travel time making it a loss for most, if not all, people involved.
According to your GAO, 70% of adults in SNAP households work full time hours, but for shit wages. It seems extra cruel to make them work for free in addition to that.
Of course, the simplest solution would be a requirement that all jobs pay a living wage, but that’s just crazy talk.
