New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan (R) told MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki on Saturday that single mothers don’t need to rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, because his mother raised a family by working hard and building a successful career following the death of her husband.

“We never had to have SNAP, when I was a kid,” Lonegan said during an appearance on Up with Steve Kornacki. “Ok, so, this thing that every single mother is the poster child for the welfare state is nonsense… I know a lot of single moms go out to work and do very, very well for themselves.”

Lonegan, who is the former New Jersey head for the Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity, encouraged single mothers to roll up their sleeves and go to work, adding that free market policies and less government will free “individuals to achieve their best potential.”

1. He does know that most SNAP recipients work?

They just don't get paid enough to eat and keep a roof over their heads. I really want these people to work at a minimum wage job, doing what these people do, and living on the wages that they make. Seriously.

2. He's serving his purpose.

Which is to make everyone feel better about the very Wall Street friendly centrist who is their only alternative to him.

Of course, all NJ Democrats (and anyone else with any sense) should definitely circle the date and get to the polls for Booker. But it's still a shame. Heads they win, tails we lose.

Anyway, single mothers do work. They're mothers.

5. Not even the kids are safe.

I have heard that the first 6 yrs of a child's life are the formative years, they just kicked off 57 thousand children off of head start. Protect the tax cuts for people like Romney. If the wealthy were required to pay 5% more in taxes, their lives would hardly show a difference. To those children, they may never be able to catch up to the level of other children...bet they will be the first to call them THUGS.

When did it become fashionable to want the poor to suffer? They want this mother to take her child to work with her? How much suffering will be enough to pay for the sin of being poor? Or is the punishment because this woman wasn't married, therefore a slut. They sure like to judge.

And not even the kids are safe.
