BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – After the food stamp rolls swelled for years under the Obama administration, fresh figures show a dramatic reduction in states that recently have moved to restore work requirements. Alabama began 2017 by requiring able-bodied adults without children in 13 counties to either find a job or participate in work training as a condition for continuing to receive benefits. According to AL.com, the number of those recipients declined from 5,538 to 831 between Jan. 1 and the beginning of May – an 85% drop. Georgia had a 62% drop, and Kansas had a 75% drop. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi accused President Trump of being insensitive for promoting this. “This confirms what my party has been saying since he got the nomination, which is, he does not care about poor people,” she explained. “He wants them to work so they can eat? Because if he was fair, he’d apply those exact same standards to rich people!”
