This is nothing but the politics of the Right Wing and their need to make people feel the need to find a job. Lazy bums that they are.
It is true, Americans are lazy bums, ask any company that HAS TO PAY them minimum wage for doing nothing.
And to think the unions have the audacity to actually strike when a company can hardly keep their heads above water. I mean post 2008 has been really rough on Wall Street.
Walmart experienced a growth of 4.97% in sales in 2013. And a gross income of $116.67 billions with a net income of $17 billion. Now a company doesn't grow at that rate with employees that don't promote sales or provide customer service, yet Walmart feels no indebtness to those people and allows them to work while supported by the USA welfare programs.
Now the Republicans in the House and Senate may not like the SNAP program and believes work is the answer to every problem. THESE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY WORKING! Remember the welfare to work programs? Work is not the issue, they are gainfully employed, the problem is the companies in the USA don't pay a living wage and that is why they are STILL on subsidy programs.
This is corporate welfare. No different than oil subsides, this is corporate welfare that keeps Americans in poverty and out of reach of the American Dream. But, who cares about that?
SNAP and Medicaid is for the lazy and we can't possibly promote Americans to be lazy, now can we?

is currently debating how to fund what is now called the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, with Republicans seeking sharp
reductions in the rapidly growing program.
While food prices vary around the country, what does a $36 cut represent in the pantry?
It roughly translates into a gallon of milk, a half gallon of orange juice and a pound of bread a week
in many areas. Or think of it as a weekly purchase of a 2-pound package
of rice, a pound of dry beans, a pound of ground beef and a dozen eggs
using national average costs....

The House action that stripped food stamp funding from a massive farm
bill would threaten vital assistance for about 5,000 military families,
mostly from the junior enlisted ranks, Pentagon officials said Friday.
A Department of Agriculture report last year showed that more than
5,000 of the 48 million Americans receiving Supplementary Nutritional
Assistance Program (food stamps) listed their employment status as
"active duty military," the Pentagon officials said.
"Military members who receive SNAP tend to be made up of members in
junior pay grades with larger than average household sizes," said Navy
Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman....
