In an economic crisis such as we are in, we need to end the requirement for college students on food stamps to have at least a 20 hour a week job. I can't find a job! I live in an area with 12.3% unemployment! I don't want to have to starve to get an education.
Sorry pal but the liberals only worry about you if you're black, homosexual or a jew. Poor Whites get no sympathy from liberals and will either be painted as a Klansman, a Meth Cooker or a toothless incestuous rube that drives a rusted out pickup truck and takes potshots at poor black sharecroppers.
You forgot living in a trailer and dating your sister.

Good idea I will do that!... come March when the snow is gone... =/
Curious - does searching for a job count as a job in this context?
no, I must actually have a job to keep my food stamps. Does that answer your question?
Yes that answers it. That's messed up, I agree.
It's a welfare loop. Start poor-get government assistance-try to get off government assistance by trying to get a job/better job-don't have the qualifications-go to school to increase chances of getting a job-government takes assistance away if you dont have a job...well how am I supposed to no longer rely on the government if I don't have the qualifications to get a job and don't have parents to support me? aggghhhrr the frustration. >.<
Your situation is proof that the system has been rigged to keep the little man down. That's messed up. Good luck '404.' edit - little person. Didn't mean to assume you were a man, just a figure of speech.
That sounds terrible. But I think that is partly what OWS is about. All those people that went to college with promises that they are doing the right thing, only to find a crap job market. Nowhere to turn, go to OWS.
I hope you are studying a good subject. Best of luck.
thank you
