There's already a work requirement.  They just discussed expanding it.  Especially the one that changes it from 49 to 59. If  requiring someone to work 20 hours a week if they are healthy and have no minor dependents and are between 50 and 60 is draconian then I guess that's what i am.  We are talking any job, 4 hours a day.  I'm not sure what the objection is.

Edit: And I wouldn't object to having some sort of job training substituting for working.
