    Republicans said the requirement could motivate people to find employment — maybe even a job that comes with health insurance. […] [They] buy their sandwiches from the food truck with their food stamps

    Republicans are extremely deluded about real life.

      Jesus. I know I’m correcting them and not you but come the fuck on! 92% of able bodied adults on medicaid work and you can’t buy prepared food from a food truck with food stamps. You have to make your own sandwiches. Theoretically a food truck selling only cold sandwiches COULD take EBT in some circumstances…they don’t for obvious reasons.
