Modern journalism.
āTimeā came a little closer with:
āAble-bodied adults without dependents living in areas with less than a 10% unemployment rate will have to prove 20 hours of work a week in order to receive consistent benefitsā
But then, that doesnāt sound quite as Draconian as cutting food to 700,000 people.
āThe serious effort to connect welfare with workā involved strictly Temporary Assistance for Needy Familiesā.
Isnāt a work requirement for other assistance programs relatively new?
There are recipients of food & nutrition & other assistances who are not able bodiedānot to mention children. IMO Itās Unemployment Insurance recipients who need to be more closely monitored in work searches. Maybe if they were, some of those vacant jobs in Pennsylvania would be filled.
