The Trump Effect: Trump signs farm bill, announces food stamp work requirement rule

[TalkRadio1]

Dec. 20 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump signed the 2018 farm bill Thursday afternoon, ending months of congressional negotiations over the $867 billion legislation.

At the signing ceremony, Trump announced a plan to bypass the bill by having the U.S. Department of Agriculture impose stricter work requirements on food stamp recipients.

"I have instructed my administration to take immediate action on welfare reform," Trump said. "Millions of able-bodied, working-age adults continue to collect food stamps without working or even looking for work. This action ... was a difficult thing to get done. But farmers wanted it done, we all wanted it done, and I think in the end it's going to make a lot of people very happy."

Speaking of farms and the Trump effect.
$12 billion dollars in tax payer money given to farmers who now can't make a living because of Trump's trade policies.
