changes to federal food stamp program
Trump wants to make some changes to the federal food stamp program, liberals of course are claiming that Republicans want poor people to all starve to death.
The changes? People on food stamps who are able bodied, able minded, who have no children, and who are younger than 50...must do something (work, volunteer, get job training) for 20 hours a week in order to receive federal assistance. States can grant waivers to this requirement for welfare recipients who live in areas with very high unemployment.
Obviously, the change is aimed at people who could EASILY work if they wanted to, but who choose not to.
The argument against this, is what, exactly?
