Trump Is Using “Welfare” Dog Whistles to Come After the Entire Working Class [feedly]

Trump Is Using "Welfare" Dog Whistles to Come After the Entire Working Class

On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that sums up how little he understands about poverty in America.

The order, titled "Reducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic Mobility," carries little weight by itself. It directs a broad range of federal agencies to review programs serving low-income people and make recommendations on how they can make the programs harder to access, all under the guise of "welfare reform."
