Via Washington Examiner:
President Trump said Monday his administration will look “very strongly” at reforming the welfare system and plans to make the issue a priority during his presidency.
“One thing we’re going to be looking at very strongly is welfare reform. That’s becoming a very, very big subject and people are taking advantage of the system and then other people aren’t receiving what they really need to live, and we think it’s very unfair to them,” Trump told reporters before a meeting with his Cabinet. “But some people are really taking advantage of our system from that standpoint, and we are really going to be looking very, very strongly therefore at welfare reform.”
The president did not provide details on what, specifically, he would do to reform the welfare system, but said the efforts were part of his priority to cut government spending.
The president’s commitment to welfare reform comes as Republicans on Capitol Hill are already working to overhaul the healthcare system, draft legislation reforming the tax code, and pass a bill addressing ‘Dreamers,’ the name given to those who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children and are protected from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
President Trump is on a roll and no one is going to stop him. Get ready for the liberal mantra to start by the democrats and the media. People are gonna die, racist, it's not who we are, the Trump administration is purposefully targeting people of color, the children, etc. That tired old bullshit is about to be trotted out again by the usual suspects. Nothing will cause the democrat liberal base to meltdown more than threatening welfare reform. Trump is awesome in that while the democrats are going nuts with their Trump derangement syndrome he is just systematically tearing down every socialist platform that Obama unconstitutionally pushed on the American public.
The democrats will scream and the GOP will howl. Spending a life time in congress means selling out the taxpayer. Who is going to tell those foodstamp folks that not having to work to get money to throw a party every month is over? Who is going to tell all those shoppers that buy electronics and booze with their monthly payments, that they need to get a job? Here's how Trump can sell it: We're redistributing wealth from those who are clearly taking advantage of the system to those who truly need monetary help. Let's see the Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives try to distance themselves from that!
