Are you F*&%#-ing kidding me?
Buried Provision in House GOP Bill Would Cut Off Food Stamps to Entire Families if One Member Strikes
H.R. 1135 contains this provision:
That's a family wide ban, for the actions of a single working member.
GOP to American Workers: "You'll take what we give and like it...and what we're giving - is taking."
(H/t Naked Capitalism)
Late Edit: Joke's on us, I guess... The law has read this way since 1981. Which raises the obvious question - if this is current law - why is this in the House bill?

You left out the part of the law that says "capiche!"
Surely this is a joke?
Just because it's in a bill doesn't mean it has any hope of becoming law. But I think it's fair to damn the current GOP for their written aspirations.
What a bunch of thugs.
