    As many of us feared, Trump and Paul Ryan are signaling that cuts to welfare programs will be a priority in 2018 http://wapo.st/2lUl3oM . Paying for the #TaxScam for the 1% by hurting the marginalized--it's thievery and cowardice. #ImpeachTrump #GOPTaxScam

        And calling them entitlement programs is demeaning. People aren't using these programs because they want to. They are using them because they have no choice. Pretty sure most if not all people on welfare assistance would rather have a job that pays enough to supply their needs.

        Ryan says that the welfare programs encourage the poor to not work. That is not even true. Most of the programs I have seen require the adult recipients to either work for 30 hours a week at least, or prove that they are spending at least that looking for a job.

        Food Stamps (SNAP) "work requirement" is their target right now, but it already has one. Irks me. TN requirements, which mirror Fed:https://www.tn.gov/humanservices/for-families/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap-eligibility-information.html …

        Exactly. So I don't see why they are saying it encourages people to remain unemployed. Medicare and Medicaid are both programs for the disabled and elderly. They CAN'T work and they shouldn't have to. It is our responsibility to care for our elderly as well as our children.

        Maybe they are just reforming it and not taking it away. It would be political suicide to cut them outright. However it’s no secret people abuse the system.

        Reform like better programs to train and educate recipients to prepare them for the workforce as well as help with job placement would be fine. But they are talking about funding cuts. Raise the taxes on the people who need state aide and decrease amount of aide available.

        Many articles about an inflated welfare program that has caused dependency. I agree with the reforms for education and job placement. Taxes are not increasing taxes on the poor. 50% of Americans don’t even pay income tax. Standard deductions doubled and child tax credit doubled.

        Taxes are everywhere, not just the federal income tax. So what if a poor family gets back a couple thousand dollars a year when they file their taxes. For a poor family that is often spent on catching up rent or paying off the tile loan that bought groceries last month.
