Alabama Republicans say they want a new bill to drastically limit state welfare programs so that recipients will get jobs — but the bill eliminates the most common means of transportation to and from work.

The bill, created by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr, cuts the time frame for assistance from five years to three. It also creates a new layer of bureaucracy for poor people seeking help, including the requirement that they sign a contract vowing to adhere to the program’s rules. It also disqualifies people from getting food stamps or financial assistance for families with children if the recipients own cars, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.
The bill will go to the state Senate after clearing committee 10-3, according to the Advertiser. It limits the programs SNAP, or food stamps, and TANF, or Temporary Aid for Needy Families.
The vast majority of TANF recipients — 77 percent — are children, the Andalusia Star News reports.

When you lose a job you go on unemployment. That lasts for 2 years. After that, I guess you can apply for welfare.

So basically you can lose your job and be driving around in your car on welfare gas eating foodstamp meals for 7 years before you have to seek employment now.

And you are pissed they want to cut back on that?

Ever live in a rural area? Can't get anywhere, no less a job without a car. From my understanding unemployment last 6 months.

I guess being poor and living in a rural area is a bad idea then... Good thing they have cars to drive to those jobs so they wont have to be on welfare.

The government lets you keep some of the money.

The government lets those corporations keep some of the money just like you do. All of the ones above paid taxes and much more than you have.

If they are welfare queens then so are you.
