At the end of 2017, Ryan made it clear he wanted Republicans to make one last effort at “welfare reform” before the midterms potentially swept them out of power. The point was not to save money, he insisted, but to do “workforce development.” This was his dry, bureaucratic euphemism for making more adults work in order to qualify for federal aid like food stamps. Some Republicans were skeptical of this “workforce development” plan—perhaps because literally taking lunch money from the poor seemed like a dubious election year strategy—but the White House said it was on board.

My thoughts on this news

This is just the typical Republican Paul Ryan propaganda that people need to work harder and stop getting government assistance. Paul Ryan thinks that rich people work so hard they deserve billions of dollars in tax cuts and poor Americans do not work hard enough, so money needs to be taken away from them and they need to get to work. This government continues to make rich people richer while at the same time trying to suck every penny they can from the poor. More and more money is getting accumulated by the wealthy and the middle class is shrinking and being moved into the poor class. While all this is happening Paul Ryan thinks it is a good idea to take food away from poor people. This man thinks the government should not be feeding the poor because they do not deserve it, he thinks that if they just worked harder they would no need help from the government. Unfortunately that is not how the economy works, once the rich have the majority of the wealth in the economy there is not enough for people at the bottom....
