Trump Budget: You WORK For Your Food Stamps

We didn’t think it possible after so many years of Obama, but it’s happening now. President Trump’s 2018 budget will save $190 billion over the next ten years all by requiring those that are able-bodied adults to actually work to receive their food stamps.

America has a leader who is willing to take the lashings from the left and start America back on her path to self-reliance. No more handouts, no more enabling our own people to become lazy, unprepared, and thinking they cannot do hard things.
President Trump wrote in his letter to Congress, “We must reform our welfare system so that it does not discourage able-bodied adults from working, which takes away scarce resources from those in real need. Work must be the center of our social policy.”

Mick Mulvaney the White House budget director made this statement at a press conference: “If you’re on food stamps and you’re able-bodied, then we need you to go to work.”

As of recent times the amount of American on food stamps jetted to an all time high, 50 million Americans now receive food stamps or use Electronic Benefits Transfer cards, otherwise known as EBT cards at grocery and convenience stores to buy both food and drinks. This 50 million on food stamps equals a total of 15 percent of the country’s population, a far cry from the 17 million Americans who received food stamps in 2000.

Sounds like a plan to me. I've advocated this for years. If you don't like picking trash up along the highway, then maybe you will go get a real job.

Sounds like a plan to me too but expect riots. Work is a foreign concept to many receiving entitlements.

So happy to hear this! I am sick and tired of working to support the lazy bums that I pass everyday walking the streets of Salisbury on their iPhones that I bought for them. They look perfectly fine to me to be able to
work and now their gravy train is coming to an end!

I am fed up seeing baby mommas rolling up in a new car pulling out the ebt card ...they need to go to SS Drs every year to see if they are approved for a ebt card there also needs to be more FRAUD AGENTS IN EVERY COUNTY ESP WICOMICO

Military service should be an avenue for some of them, The ones that commit crime should not be eligible for entitlements of any kind.

And how about doing drug test. And if found positive for illegal drugs, Lock them up. I know of many that receive food stamps, keep popping out kids, keep doing their drugs, And we keep paying for this BS. And YES, there is one in my family that keeps doing exact things I mention. Pure Lazy, The World Owes me. Well the World was here first and owes you nothing.

Along with these other suggestions mandatory drug test with random drug test, minimum 2 random a year. Better yet drug test when they receive their monthly check. Penalty would be 1 year no money / benefits 1st time, 5 year no money / benefits 2nd time, unable to ever receive money / benefits 3rd time.

3 out of 9 black Americans are on food stamps or government assistance. That's 33%. Less than 2 in 10, 20% of white Americans are. It's ok, I know statistics as compared to population is hard to understand for some people. "Hold this L"

If they can't find employment they should be required to work for any government agency that is supported by tax dollars. Put in a regular week until finding some type of employment. Pull weeds from sidewalls, wash or maintain vehicles or be in the office if possessing the skills. Any darn thing that tax payers are paying for will be fine. This is if they are able bodied.

Also, just cut out illegal people that are not citizens of this great nation.After all, didn't they come here to better themselves and work? There are many options to cure this burden the taxpayers bare.

Working people/ elderlyac get crumbs anyway. The system is backwards. It needs revamping

If you don't work you don't eat!!! Govt needs to be out of the welfare business. The Christian church will rise up and take care of needy people. Once our tax burden is lifted we will be able to take care of our own and help others but hard to do when the govt takes half of our income. TRUMP MAGA

Notice 6:07 has no argument to come back with. The definition of a troll. The hilarious part is you think your clever, while everyone else thinks your a moron. "I knew if I feeded". Nice grasp of English you've got there, unsurprising.

10:59 What argument would you like me to come back with your bogus data? Your definition of a troll is even wrong. You were fed and were served an L and now your mad at me. I don't even own a pit bull btw. Do you have kiddie porn on your computer since we are stereotyping? How's my English professor?
