Yep, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Same old song and dance. Just meaner and more vindictive. Bring in the hook and get that man out of the oval office. He does not belong there. Period.
He was not presidential material before and he is not even a mediocre one now. He is just a rich old con man that sold his soul to the devil.
So doubling the National Debt like Obama did is a president more to your liking? Maybe you should research more instead of taking the Liberal media's word for everything. Read below.
The Economy Needs More Workers; Trump's Budget Cuts Would Produce Them
A front-page New York Times article Sunday says that "the main economic concern" these days "is no longer a lack of jobs, but a lack of workers."
The ranks of those who are out of the labor force — they aren't working and aren't looking for a job — exploded by 15 million over those years. While some of this is due to the baby boom generation starting to hit retirement, a much bigger explanation is the fact that so many able-bodied people can access government benefit programs
ObamaCare, for example, encouraged states to expand Medicaid eligibility, not only by raising the income threshold, but by making it available to able-bodied, childless adults. Thirty-one states have done so. As a result, Medicaid rolls have exploded by almost 17 million. ObamaCare itself discourages work, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Obama also eased requirements to get on food stamps, and as a result there are 14 million more people collecting food stamps today than there were in Dec. 2007.

Yeah, we need someone as POTUS who can dole out some more free stuff.
Few who are on welfare just because they "don't want to work" will magically decide they want to work. They will commit crimes or join the off ramp beggars.
a long way toward fixing the worker shortage simply by pushing work requirements to welfare programs that lack them, and strengthening the ones that already exist.
will call for giving states more flexibility to impose work requirements to get benefits, including Medicaid and food stamps. It might also include a call to reform SSDI to get people who are actually able to do work back to work. As it stands, only a tiny fraction of SSDI recipients ever re-enter the workforce.
Unfortunately, Democrats and their handmaidens in the press won't explain any of this, and will instead scream that Trump is "slashing" entitlement programs by $1.7 trillion and "gutting the safety net."

Translation: Give me government handout or I'll commit crimes
Comment: People already commit crimes because they want "more". If they have to work crimes may be reduced. In fact maybe they won't have to the time or energy to produce illegitimate children also forced on the tax payer.
I'm sorry, I know how the system works and the safety net does not work as intended.

Or they might find it easier to just get a job.
When the benefits are no longer equal to or better than what you can earn working, yeah many of those folks who are able will find work. As it is many work under the table for cash to supplement their benefits.
Generally they are also receiving rent subsidies, section 8, and a slue of other services so its not like they have a lot of bills to pay.
Not saying any are living the high life but many seem to be doing nearly as well as many who work everyday and have 30% of their income taken off the top and have to pay all their living expenses and food.
Many on disability are not receiving any rent subsidies. There are waiting lists to apply for the waiting lists to get into an apartment now in many areas.
