    The nation’s welfare laws were overhauled under former President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. The changes provided states with grants in exchange for greater flexibility in how they can use the funds.

    There’s been a steady decline in the number of needy families participating in the nation’s welfare program since the mid-1990s.

    Trump says at the Conservative Political Action Conference that “jobs are already starting to pour back” and points to pledges for more manufacturing jobs in states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

    President Trump, when he was campaigning, said he had a secret plan to defeat Isis he would reveal in the first thirty days. We are still waiting for it.

    Dear Sirs if the democrats would stop holding his full cabinet picks, he could get things done, but since he only has pieces of his full cabinet because the democrats want him to fail so they can say I told you so. But if he can’t get his full cabinet voted in then it is on the democrats that he fails not Trump. If that is so the democrats will limp even further into the next election cycle no matter who they chose for their leader.

    If Trump cuts the Food Stamp program you will certainly see outraged comments from our community.
