Today, Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation spoke with guest host Steve Malzberg on a number of topics, from Chicago suing the Trump Administration to Single Payer health care, but notably they discussed the news that Food Stamp rolls are lowering for the first time in years, with 1.1 Million leaving the program since Trump was inaugurated.
Moore was very excited by the news, you can listen here (Food Stamp talk starts at 4:05)
That is awesome news! By the way, we still have to take at least 10 million more people off food stamps. Food stamps grew and grew and grew under Obama…it grew about 50% during the recession, but then when the recession was over, they only fell by around 10-15%.
If you’re gonna get food stamps…or any of these programs, and you’re an able-bodied adult, Steve, you’ve got to get a job! It’s that simple! And that’s in the Trump budget – yes we’re a compassionate country, we’re not gonna let people go homeless, we’re not gonna let them go hungry, but if you want aid from the government and the tax payers, you have to do something in return, and that’s get a job and work, and not sit in front of the TV!
By the way, liberals HATE that idea, they LOATHE that idea. They don’t want these people working, and by the way, the best thing you can do for somebody is not give them a handout, give them a job, give them a paycheck! What a concept!
