Full Throttle posted...The Trump administration will be forcing MILLIONS of Americans who get food stamps to get JOBS if they want the benefits to continue!!
That was an idea Congress nixed leaving it out of a 5 year Farm Bill that Trump signed into law.
The 400 billion law reauthorized agriculture and conservation programs and left the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that serves 44 million untouched.
He announced this signing at a ceremony that he wants Americans to go from "dependence to independence" and from "welfare to gainful employment, strengthening families and uplifting communities"
SNAP is the largest single expense amounting to more than 70 billion as the USDA proposed a rule that would limit how state governments grant work exemptions to adults.
18-49 year olds without kids are required to work 20 hours a week to maintain these benefits as the house bill would have raised the age of receiptients subject to work requirements from 49 to 59 and required parents with children older than 5 to participate in job training.
It also limits circumstances where families that quality for other poverty programs can automatically be eligible for SNAP and since these didn't make it to the farm bill, the Trump administration went for a regulatory approach in scaling back the program as Texas Repubilcan, Michael Conaway was the champion of this tightening
Senator Debbie Stabenow blasted the decision to restrict the program who said "This regulation blatantly ignores the bipartisan farm bill that the president is signing today an disregards over 20 years of history giving states flexibility to request waivers based on local job conditions. I expect the rule will face significant opposition and legal challenges"
Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also blasted this who said is the definition of cruelty and tweeted government should help hungry americans and not take away food.
Florida Republican Ted Yoho said he is a former SNAP recipient and said "Work is empowering" and Republican Scott DesJarlais said the vast majority of americans said people should work if they want food stamps in the "growing economy"
Only states that have an unemployment of 7% or higher will get waivers as conservatives celebrated the decision but is met with criticism that said will leave vulnerable families hungry.
Do you support this?
