Trump Just Made Massive Change – 22% of the US Will Never Be the Same

It’s finally happening folks. The days when 22% of our fellow Americans parking their rear ends on their couches while the working schmucks go to work in order to give them welfare and food stamps might finally be coming to an end.

In an attempt to wean people off of taxpayer help, on Wednesday the Trump administration unveiled it’s 2018 Farm Bill. And amongst its many tweaks, it creates a work requirement for those who receive government assistance in the form of food stamps. The document calls for work as the “pathway to self-sufficiency, well-being and economic mobility for individuals and families” for individuals and families who are on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told reporters at a farm near Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, this is a necessity in order to discourage the welfare lifestyle. The lifestyle where people turn government assistance into a career choice.

Perdue went on to explain:

“It’s evident that there are able-bodied adults without dependents who are on the food stamp program, who we believe it is in their best interests, and their families’ best interests, to move into an independent lifestyle,” Perdue said, according to Bloomberg News.

“During the last downturn, it became a lifestyle for some people. We don’t want it to become permanent,” he added.

He also stated that because of this law able-bodied adults will no longer be able to just coast by and receive food stamps without doing at least a 20 hour work week. It can be in the form of charity work, part-time job, study or even community service. But the days of just sitting on the couch waiting for that check to arrive are over.
