Ohio families receiving food stamps could get an unwelcome surprise come January: $50 less every month in assistance.
For the 869,000 households enrolled in the program for the poorest Ohioans, that could amount to about $520 million annually out of the grocery budgets.
Isn't this what conservatives want? Smaller handouts?
No, we want the safety net to take care of the people who need it. But democrats just want to keep expanding these welfare programs, to get more people to vote for them, in order to keep the free stuff coming.
I've made this point many times, you keep expanding the safety net like this, and then the people who the programs were intended to help, don't get the help they need, and get forced to wait in line behind throngs of greedy people who just want more free stuff.
