Yeah.....they can sell the food stamps ( and DO ) always one of the inherent problems with social welfare programs...there'll always be a group of sh*tbags ready and waiting to take advantage of it. The ONLY way to stop the abuse is to require people who CAN WORK to do so. PERIOD
Unfortunately when some Governors try....this is what they get.

a couple of excepts from the article:
"Last Friday, a New Mexico district judge placed a temporary hold on the work requirements, which were set to go into effect Nov. 1. On Wednesday of this week, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez announced that the state would restart the process of putting the work requirements into place rather than going through the litigation process. The state will pursue the same work requirements."
New Mexico is taking a first step toward promoting work. The food stamp program, however, needs greater reform at the federal level. The vast majority of food stamp funding comes from the federal government, as does the majority of funding for the roughly 80 means-tested welfare programs currently in operation.
Like the 1996 welfare reform that inserted work requirements into the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, food stamps should be reformed similarly. In the 1996 reform, work-eligible applicants were required, upon entry, to be working or to enroll in some type of work
Side note: New Mexico is the OTHER state who's Latino population now and has for sometime been the Majority. Let's see how their states economies keep from going bankrupt if they continue down these same roads.
