(14,568 posts)52. Head of OK's GOP says loss of SNAP will make lazy Oklahoman's go get work.
I thought the caption said Party Chair. Anyway, I caught a clip of an interview the other day where he said he wouldn't be surprised if employment numbers improve after SNAP benefits discontinue during the shutdown. The GOP clearly believes that SNAP recipients are just able-bodied people gaming the system. Needless to say, of course, the approximately 604,000 Oklahomans receiving SNAP benefits are mostly the elderly, disabled and children.

It is possible that the author is, shall we say, lying about their own circumstances?
