http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/23/states-take-on-welfare-reform-with-nod-from-trump.htmlRepublicans nationwide are taking a swing at reforming welfare, with the latest initiative approved by the Missouri House last week.
The Show Me State's plan would toughen rules for people who misspend benefit money. If it passes the state Senate and gets the governor's signature, it would ensure that no welfare money is spent on tobacco, alcohol and other prohibited items, or at businesses like strip clubs or liquor stores.
In Wisconsin, for example, Gov. Scott Walker pushed through last month a sweeping welfare overhaul package. Among the changes, the reform expands work requirements for welfare benefits and now covers not only able-bodied childless adults but parents with school-aged children as well. It also increases the minimum work or job training hours for both adults and parents from 20 to 30 hours a week.
It also creates mandatory drug testing, screening and treatment requirements to become eligible for public housing. Photo IDs will now be required to participate in the food stamp program.
