Many millions, and they need to be cut off completely, "social unrest" be damned.
I love this man.
No welfare for immigrants of any type.
Outstanding:
Work requirements
Drug testing
Max benefits
No benefits to illegals
Make sense...he’s bringing jobs, now push people to go to work.
Examining the Means-tested Welfare State: 79 Programs and $927 Billion in Annual Spending
Spreading them out into dozens of agencies is a good way to hide the full scope. First, consolidate them all into one agency, and lay off the redundant federal employees. It would be hard for Democrats to generate widespread outrage about that.
Second would be to cap how much any recipient could receive, total, from all programs.
Third, institute ID checking and citizenship checking.
Good its about damn time too..I remember a time being on welfare people were embarrassed to be on it..now they FLAUNT IT..some people truly need it to stay afloat and I totally understand that..but others are abusing the system. I once saw a woman in a MERCEDES using her EBT card at Whole Foods, WHOLE FOODS..I was shocked, she looked to be in her mid 40s, and seriously who would use their EBT card to purchase anything at Whole Foods, I understand Ralphs and Vons but Whole Foods come on, didnt look disabled, driving a nice car..some people need the welfare but others are abusing the system and need to be cut off
I’m getting tired of winning. (Okay, not really.)
The golden calf of the left. Go for it Trump. Drug test them.....
Isn’t that really a state issue?
Please:
No assistance of any kind to refugees or immigrants, period.
No additional benefits for anyone for more than one child.
Benefits cannot be drawn for more than one year— lifetime cap.
End medicaid.
End EITC.
Eliminating these welfare programs, (and eliminating no fault divorce) would return this country to it’s roots in two generations. “Single moms” would disappear very quickly, and people would get married and stay married and work through their problems.
Please start NOW!!! Go to the new system,
Work or go without! (food, cars, tv, phones,...)
Having spent part of my childhood in a welfare household, I can attest that "taking advantage of the system" is part of the poverty culture. For example, when I was a kid, there was a deposit on soda bottles, which were collected, washed, and reused. But if people bought the soda with food stamps, they did not have to pay the deposit. But they could still turn in the bottles for the deposit in cash. For kids who wanted to spend the summer playing pin-ball, those bottles were a way to get coins for the pin-ball machines.
Since I dislike soda, I wouldn't even drink the stuff. I'd pour most of it out and take the bottle back for the deposit.
There were plenty of other ways to game the system, and I'm sure there are even more now.
Ssdi is worse than welfare
Things have gotten so bad after 8 years of Obama that the much of the system is predicated on systemic fraud and the people who were the original groups the welfare was intended to help are being frozen out. .
First, we need to force timely recertification. You go on SS disability using a well paid lawyer, you can stay on the rest of your life. You move in with a boyfriend/girlfriend, but your welfare status won’t change. Have another kid, Bingo.
Auditing costs money, but with huge potential savings.
Welfare is a corporate subsidy funded by the taxpayer to keep the idled workforce in check(with a check) while they close factories and reap huge profits by importing duty(tariff) free. It's all interconnected.
Go back to what we had under Clinton, who could say no to that?
