The Trump administration Wednesday formalized work requirements for recipients of food stamps


The USDA rule change affects people between the ages of 18 and 49 who are childless and not disabled. Under current rules, this group is required to work at least 20 hours a week for more than three months over a 36-month period to qualify for food stamps

“We’re taking action to reform our SNAP program in order to restore the dignity of work to a sizable segment of our population and be respectful of the taxpayers who fund the program,” Perdue said. “Americans are generous people who believe it is their responsibility to help their fellow citizens when they encounter a difficult stretch. That’s the commitment behind SNAP, but, like other welfare programs, it was never intended to be a way of life.”

People getting excited about Trump's announcement have no concept of the large number of working poor who get food stamps.

Okay so if you take 700,000 out of 4,000,000 you are left with 3,300,000 which clearly you will agree is, as I said, "the majority."

So... were you trying to agree with me?
