Dang. I was trying to figure out who was left for Trump and Ryan ,to kick his way out of his self created corner. He s been thru daca kids, women he has sexually assaulted(allegedly) , the entire LGBTQ community, the poor from lesser rich countries then the US, and OH Yeah! The mayor of the devastated Puerto Rico, told kids who just witnessed massed murder of their school mates to expect MORE guns in school next year,and wanted Putin to get out of the way because he s sending rockets overhead.
What a guy.

The only group left after welfare recipients , then, would be dogs and cats.

Predicting a crackdown on adoptions and an uptick in cheaper ways to deal with overpopulation of beings that don't serve his agenda.

I m sure he ll get something like this done before Ryan leave s with his money bags.

Or maybe more legitimate recruiters or helpful job coaches. In today's world they want you to have so much experience out the gate and there are so many of these listings to navigate through.
I think a lot of us need better help to secure good jobs. It is a nightmare out there.
Free trade with slave-labor nations has consequences.

If not for all of the various government programs, we’d be like Brazil.

If they are working, they don’t need it. If they reproduced while on MW then they are idiots.

Cheese is a lot healthier than "Cheez-its" or "Cheeto's".

This is why we can't allow conservatives to be in control. Children starving in the streets is fine, just don't take a penny away from those fat cats at the top sitting on millions and millions of our taxpayer dollars.

And these conservatives pretend to follow Christ.
The parents who produced them while on welfare are idiots. Their offspring are not my problem. I am not the village.

And yes, get a job. Hunger is a great motivator

Great news...time to trim some fat.

"Despite the strong economy, administration officials said enrollment in welfare programs remains high. The White House said in 2016, more than 16 million “able-bodied adults” were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps."
Let's start with Trump's swampy cabinet, their travel expenses, their wives' travel expenses, their office furniture, the Trump family travel that is costing us millions (the guy is supposed to be a billionaire--let him pick up the hundreds of thousands being paid for his sons' (who bring their wives) business travel and for Javanka's family once a month luxury vacation and for Tiffany and Marla's European travel luxury vacations.

The 'royal' Trump family spending is out of control. Having to pay for a billionaire family's lifestyle, while talking about cutting off hungry kids is possibly one of the most truly revolting things heard yet from this pathetic excuse of an administration. This is not America--it is more like Versailles before the revolution.

And Trump could stand trimming some fat himself.

Nope. Don't believe you.

You are pretty naive if you don't understand they are enriching themselves due to their relationships and access to power far more than the normal type of welfare recipients Trump is trying to squeeze out of their benefits...
Ask yourself why Kushners are able at this stage to buy Vornado out of the 666's debt burden--

Maybe some money from the Saudis for engineering the Qatar trouble...

And there are way more than I have read about in the news...

From the article: in 2016, "more than 16 million “able-bodied adults” were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps."
  • Most unemployed childless adults are limited to three months of benefits, unless they are working at least 20 hours per week or participating in a qualifying workfare or job training program.
  • The number of SNAP recipients is declining: "The number of SNAP participants in an average month was 3 percent lower in 2016 than in 2015, and almost 5 percent lower in 2017 than in 2016."
  • Most SNAP recipients who can work do so. Among SNAP households with at least one working-age, non-disabled adult, more than half work while receiving SNAP — and because many workers turn to SNAP when they are between jobs, more than 80 percent work in the year before or after receiving SNAP. The rates are even higher for families with children. (About two-thirds of SNAP recipients are not expected to work, primarily because they are children, elderly, or disabled.)

I am so sick of the Republican lies about the poor, I hope they pay dearly in 2018 and 2020 for it.
