Trump: No welfare if you use drugs or won't work

• thehornnews.com

On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order requiring all able-bodied welfare recipients to work or lose their benefits. And insider sources say even bigger changes are just around the corner.

Welfare recipients already had to work a certain number of hours a week in order to get a check. Former President Bill Clinton signed the legislation, which praised for its "firm but fair work requirements."

But like so many other areas of his administration, Obama just ignored the law.

Obama "suspended" the work requirements during the Great Recession and banned states from making welfare cases get off the couch and work, too.

With the government handing out free money, no-strings-attached, the number of people living on the government's dime hit an all-time high.
