It's this kind of unnecessary spitefulness that needs to be purged from the Republican Party. Forget the morality of welfare and mooching and all the talking points. This plan (and other similar welfare reform proposal popping up in GOP states) simply make no sense from a fiscal conservative/small government stand point. The bureaucracy required to enforce this kind of intrusion and restriction on recipients will likely cost significantly more than if they just gave these people thousands of dollars in straight up cash. It's pure slashing of the nose to spite the face.
It's almost as if the party at large has no special commitment to small government principles beyond the fact that people respond well to the rhetoric of small government conservatives.
