As many as 750,000 will be cut off from food stamps under a new regulation set to be announced Wednesday.

The change will make it harder for states to receive waivers for requirements that certain able-bodied adults work or be enrolled in vocational training programs in order to receive benefits, Bloomberg reported.

Trainees can take unskilled jobs. The need to bathe first.

MSM headlines:

“Trump brings Armageddon upon our poor!”
“Trump makes 750,000 homeless!”
“Trump hates poor people!”

Don’t forget the famous “women and children hardest hit” line.

EVERYONE should be removed. There is no justification under the Constitution for Taxation Without Representation!

Why should there even BE waivers for those requirements?

..."Bloomberg reported."

Bloomberg is a fakenews propaganda outfit that refuses to investigate ANY Demonrats, including the execrable ex-Mayor running for President.

The left-wing media are spinning this. Fairly and accurately reported the news would be:

As many as 750,000 will be cut off from food stamps required to work at least part-time or be enrolled in vocational training programs in order to receive benefits under a new regulation set to be announced Wednesday.

Therefore, no one will be cut off. Some persons aged 18 to 49 who aren’t disabled or raising minor children may voluntarily drop off if they don't want to either work at least part-time or be enrolled in a vocational training program.

Using the left-wing media's approach, the news also could have been reported this way:

As many as 750,000 will be begin working at least part-time or begin vocational training under a new regulation set to be announced Wednesday.

Why do this to ANY American citizens before completely cutting off ALL food stamps to illegal aliens?

That’s a drop in the bucket but a good start.

An adult should not be allowed welfare but for six months twice in their lives and absolutely none if they aren’t a citizen.
