You'll be allowed to keep your guns and hunt for food.

Thank goodness TRUMP will protect our Foodstamps and Section 8 housing!

Or you might get a higher paying job with Trump and not need it.  Foodstamps and section 8 housing are important though!

The headline is a bit misleading - or at least gives the wrong impression.  He isn't eliminating assistance programs for the poor, just block granting it to states to come up with something more effective.

Yes and notice how Democrats can never understand that and instead of listening, they just call for his head on a plate.

So they'll continue misusing block grant TANF funds to fill budget holes, but now with even more federal tax dollars meant to help the poor! Gee, how could that go wrong?

I've proposed a welfare policy that I think can work for everyone in the Economics threads.  In our country today I'd implement it at the federal level, but in a perfect country these programs are run at the state level.  In fact if you look at how the states are doing, it's light years better than D.C.

Poor houses? Euthanasia? Soylent green?

Why would you propose those things? States do a better job on their own.  In fact if you look at how well many of the more Republican states are handling their programs in comparison to D.C. and the more Democrat states you'll be introduced to a whole new world of truth instead of just whatever you're hearing from Democrat politicians, the media, professors, teachers, and court rulings.

Most states would just recreate the food stamp program at the state level, as it is one of the more effective welfare programs, despite its shortcomings.   Plus there will be pressure from grocers and the like to keep it.

Plus the states will do a better job at it and things will be even better.
