Michigan eliminates 'asset test' for food assistance
(www.wkar.org)
Republican House Leader Matt Hall quoted in the article: "offering food stamps to the rich does nothing to put food on the tables of Michiganders in need.”
But distribute $1.5 billion to the rich through the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve fund and Matt will reassure you that it helps create jobs.
Honestly, good. Asset checks are awful ways of keeping people destitute and hungry.
As usual, Republicans would rather wring their hands over a handful of people getting something than worry about the burdens it puts on folks who need the assistance and aren't getting it.
