Gotta pay for that tax cut somehow.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration, brushing aside tens of thousands of protest letters, gave final approval on Wednesday to a rule that will remove nearly 755,000 people from the federal food-stamp program by strictly enforcing federal work requirements.
The rule, which was proposed by the Department of Agriculture in February, would make states enforce work requirements for able-bodied adults without children that governors have routinely been allowed to waive, especially for areas in economic distress. The economy has improved under the Trump administration, the department argued, and assistance to unemployed, able-bodied adults was no longer necessary in a strong job market.
Hundreds of Thousands Are Losing Access to Food Stamps
The Department of Agriculture gave its final approval to the first of three rules that are ultimately expected to cut 3 million from the food stamp rolls.
Punish the poor. Subsidize the rich. Welcome to modern Cruel Christianity that tens of millions of alleged Christians flock to. Jesus wouldn't go near the Republican party with a hazmat suit on.
