really the biggest thing about this is almost no SNAP benefits go to families without children

if you review the actual funding provision provided, children are the main driver in receiving money

so this is mostly a set of rules that apply to a tiny fraction of the program's budget and those rules will probably cost more than they save. as tends to be the case for most 'make sure welfare is being used appropriately!!!111one' legislation

the job training req is probably the dumbest part of it since that directly impacts actual recipients and just creates paperwork

@Balrog0 why are you not here

My understanding of what Trump did is that it was pretty narrow. I thought he had just changed the cutoff for what areas count as 'high unemployment' and might be able to waive work requirements for that reason. If there's more I wasn't aware of it
