In his 2018 State of the Union address, President Trump promised to move more Americans from welfare to work, from dependence to independence, and from poverty to prosperity. This year, on December 4, he delivered on that promise, finalizing one of the biggest welfare reforms in a generation.

For more than 20 years, the law has said that able-bodied adults on food stamps should work, train, or volunteer at least part-time. But states like California, Illinois, and New York have used loopholes and gimmicks to waive and ignore that law altogether.

Sure you will. They’ll wail and moan about how President Trump is starving poor black kids to death.

The people who can reasonably do some work for the money we provide them should definitely do so. It’s demeaning and insulting otherwise. All people including welfare recipients are entitled to their dignity as human beings.

I don’t care if they just broom down the streets like people did in the old days as long as they give back for what they TAKE from US!

Certainly. ( cleaning streets in San Fransicko requires shovels nowadays , not just brooms) . But we can issue them shovels. No problem at all. ). Any honest work they can do should be just fine. Of course in some big cities like San Fransicko, the street
Cleaning is part of a big corrupt city ripoff political machine - so brooms or even shovels won’t be acceptable. See: https://www.tennantco.com/content/dam/tennant/tennantco/products/machines/outdoor%20and%20city%20cleaning/414-424%20Green%20Machines/Images/414RS—street(2).jpg

Russia makes little old pensioner ladies clean sidewalks and pedestrian tunnels in return for public assistance. But it is perceived as a way to give the women some dignity by letting them earn their benefits. It works. There are major intersections in Moscow that are near spotless. No homeless, trash, urine, but there may be some nice we’ll behave vendors. Those ladies “own” their sidewalks.
