i grew up on medicaid, food stamps, and free school lunches. my mom and i cried together when the bill passed because we knew those things saved us after my parents got divorced. my dad cheered it on because he didn’t know i benefited from them.

So instead of actually responding to what I said, you just defaulted to name-calling and exaggeration. Nobody said kids should get jobs that's not even close to the argument 😭. But go ahead and twist things that far to make your point, just shows how much of a dumb ass you are

Clearly you are dumber than you look because now a day many jobs require some sort of education including trade schools and experiences so…. Maybe you haven’t lived long enough and I did read the bill and it affects many Americans just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean you can be a asshole

Good for you not all states are the same and not everyone’s experiences are the same plus there’s a lot of obstacles with colorism, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia which could prevent people from getting jobs and promotions and etc so maybe stop being a asshole and do research on maybe life in general

Bro I can literally find jobs with no education requirements or experience easily 😂💀 tf you mean… I’m probably older than you gang 😂 and yes you’re correct, bills always affect a number of Americans but that’s literally with every decision that a government makes there’s always that 1% or whatever low ass # it affects.

The fact that you use gang means you are uneducated and foolish and I promise I’m much older because you are clearly acting like a child! How about you go expand your vocabulary because using “gang” makes you sound ignorant and ghetto. I don’t argue with children who have the reading skills of a 8th grader and I just know you are probably from one of the most illiterate states in the country

my mom worked three part time jobs…. three because none of them had enough hours for her….. part time jobs don’t provide you health insurance……. i also was working almost everyday after school to help with bills lmfao that shit literally saved our asses and helped us get to where we are today, so it really hurt us so badly because even if you can’t work for whatever reason (literally none of our business), you should be able to have insurance and food

Grew up on implies when they were younger. After my parents divorced implies a while ago. They are not talking about now, they may have a job now. They’re not saying they benifit from those things currently, but did in the past. You said you should get a job and work, as opposed to needing those benefits. Well they didn’t say they needed them now, just when they were younger. So you imply that as a child, op should “get a job and work.”

I’m sorry yall went thru that. But again the bill wouldn’t have affected yall. It isn’t aimed at people like your mom or you. It’s focused on able bodied adults without dependents who aren’t working at all. If someone’s already working part time it wouldn’t apply. The goal isn’t to punish struggling families, it’s to make sure the system isn’t being abused by people who could work a full time job but choose not to

Again. It applies to able-bodied adults with no kids who are doing nothing. If you’re working, in training, or can’t work for LEGIT reasons, it doesn’t affect you. This isn’t about being cruel, it’s about accountability. Helping people shouldn't mean creating a system where someone contributes nothing and still receives full benefits. If you're able to work, there should be some expectation to contribute. Otherwise, the burden just falls on the people who are already doing their part.

Is it fair that your mom worked 3 jobs to survive while a healthy 25yr old who refuses to work still gets benefits? That's the issue. Your mom earned support by putting in the effort. Thats the intent of the bill, is making that 25yr old accountable and to contribute to society and earn their benefits than being lazy. it's about fairness, not punishment.
