Trump administration to close loopholes in SNAP program

Trump administration moves to enforce work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving food stamps.

I just read a stunning stat on those receiving food stamps--"Even though Florida only has 15.2 percent of its population receiving food stamps, because of the sheer size of its population, 15 percent equates to 3.1 million people. More people receive food stamps in Florida than any other state, costing the government nearly $381 million annually.

The Trump Administration plans to implement a rule change to close loopholes that states have been using to exempt large portions of healthy, younger food stamp recipients from work requirements." [Western Journal]

There are so many job opportunities now under the Trump administration that the excuse no longer exists for able bodied people not to seek work. Despite record low unemployment rates nationwide, more than a third of the nation lives in an area where work requirements have been waived, says the Foundation for Government Accountability.

Good, I agree, so much abuse of this. Ironic when you go to Highland Elem School and watch all the illegals picking up their kids at the end of the day, they all have nice new cars, Suburban's and many other expensive $50K cars, yet all their kids are on free lunches and they get food stamps and they pay NO taxes to the government. These people know how to work the system. It is a sin!

What kind of nice cars? You wouldn't be seen dead in one of those cars. It shows how little you know about the automobile market.
