This is going to put Conservative congressmen and senators in a difficult position.
Do they agree to this major expansion of the welfare state because this time a Republican proposed it? Or do they stick to their goal of a smaller government?
It’s going to leave lots of conservatives confused, especially if Trump loses. How do you disagree with Hillary expanding the welfare state when Trump is proposing it himself?
How is this an expansion of the welfare state? Letting people keep more of the money they earn is not welfare. As far as I can see, Donald Trump is proposing to leave the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is welfare, as is for now. The child care rules will make it easier for people to transition out of the EITC earnings range.

We’re standing on the edge of a cliff, friend. Trump is the only possible rope with which we might be able to be rescued. Any other option involves horrible death.
I’m willing to compromise on relatively unimportant matters in exchange for not letting Hillary imprison me for life for my faith or not getting my head whacked off by Islamic nutjobs.
And despite this, Trump’s platform is STILL the most conservative that we’ve had since 1984 and perhaps longer.
