In essence, its key anti-poverty policy is to imply that many of those receiving welfare benefits are not really eligible. In Kentucky, Medicaid enrollees will have to spend 20 hours a week doing a job, job training, education or community service. The latest House version of the 2018 Farm Bill would cut $20 billion over ten years from the program and introduce work requirements for eligible adults aged 18 to 59. Surely work is preferable to welfare and taxpayers should not be subsidizing those who are work-shy or downright lazy. The administration’s welfare policy is, in essence, unjustified, punitive, gratuitous and cruel.
