The media are wrong: It's good that able-bodied adults are leaving food stamps
Perhaps you heard: Those monsters in the Trump administration are kicking the vulnerable off food stamps.
TL;DR
- 4.3 million people have left the food stamp program since early last year.
- The Trump administration expanded work requirements for food stamps and closed loopholes.
- Able-bodied adults without young children are encouraged to find employment.
- Data suggests recipients' incomes double or triple after leaving food stamps.
- The article contrasts this with previous administrations, which allegedly allowed too many able-bodied adults onto the program.
- Work requirements are supported by a majority of voters.
- Some 'blue states' are attempting to delay the implementation of these requirements.
