The Obama voters in Ohio who are fully capable of working should have their checks eliminated then go to their master Obama for a job - the economy is doing fine afterall.
No other aspect of the government can be cut right ?
Reality is money is running out..too many people wanting and not enough giving.
The left don't like dealing with the reality that money runs out.
Yeah, literally billions in (unneeded) corporate welfare has to come first.
Always cut the programs to the poor; makes sense, that is where the fat is (not).
No, their policy is to cry and scream at anything Obama does.
Someone has to, fools like those who vote for 0bama don't give a **** that he just added 15 million people onto Food Stamps. I never hear people like you get upset about poverty in this nation being at a FIFTY YEAR HIGH!!!
0bama added 420,863 NEW Food Stamp recipients from July 2012 to August 2012. Almost a half million people in one month. So much for the left claiming that the economy was improving, eh
I don't have a problem with this. We have to make cuts everywhere.
[easy for me to say, though, as I'm not on food stamp aid...]
Amen. I've been working and paying taxes for 39 years and have never received WIC, welfare, foodstamps or any other government subsidies. Between the cost of gas and food, these days I can barely afford to eat. They also need to end the wet foot dry foot policy and cut the foreign aid budgets. We can't continue to pretend that we can afford to feed and take care of the world.

Stunner… Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare – Obama Wants to Up That Number
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, July 16, 2012,
Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising.Basically, the majority of households across the country benefiting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania(59%).The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship.

This is the same president who is proud that he blows tens of billion of dollars on his green energy crony capitalism.

It's not like we haven't been warning them.
Welcome to your new normal, sheep, and it ain't gonna get better!

Apparently, you haven't been to the People of Wal-Mart website.
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
What kind of help are we talking about here, and who's paying for it?
