The reason they need SNAP is because they CAN'T WORK while their children are young. Now Uncle Sam says they HAVE TO work or they don't get the funds. It's a vicious cycle.

If only the young mothers can all get together and hire each other to watch each other's kids. Then they can all say they're "employed" and meet the new requirement for SNAP. Everybody's happy.
