How
President Trump is fixing welfare
The Executive
Order on Economic Mobility, which President Trump
signed late yesterday, takes the first steps toward real
welfare reform in America. The last overhaul of the welfare
system came more than two decades ago under the Republican
Congress’ “Contract with America,” led by Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich.
Welfare
enrollment for able-bodied adults is at a record high,
despite near-record low unemployment in most parts of the
country. For example, there are a record 28 million able-bodied
adults on Medicaid today—a figure that has quadrupled since
2000.
Work is the
solution. States that have enacted commonsense work
requirements are seeing positive results, improving the lives
of thousands. Washington can learn from their example: After
reforms in Kansas and Maine, individuals who left welfare and
returned to work saw their average incomes more than double.
President
Trump’s reforms will restore independence and dignity to
millions.
‘Prescribed
to Death’
Beginning today, the
National Park Service is partnering with the nonprofit National
Safety Council (NSC) to host “Prescribed to Death,” a
temporary memorial depicting the 22,000 people who died from
prescription opioid overdose in 2015.
The memorial is
being hosted on the Ellipse just below the White
House’s South Lawn. Its purpose is to educate visitors on the
devastating impact of America’s opioid crisis, Press
Secretary Sarah Sanders said. “These stories are tough to
hear, and this exhibit will be an intensely emotional and
somber experience," she said. “But it's also a reminder
that lives are at stake, and we must take action.”
The memorial
will open to the public tomorrow and remain on exhibit
until next Wednesday, April 18. It arrives less than one month
after President Trump announced an aggressive plan to combat
the opioid epidemic in America.
Learn
why the NSC is bringing “Prescribed to Death” to the White
House.
