Chump said he's coming after welfare. He called it welfare reform.

Chump said he's coming after welfare. He called it welfare reform. That's an euphemism for making the lives of our most vulnerable Americans worse. Maybe he will advocate indentured slavery. Who knows ? The Deplorables would love it.

We can't have people on our side doing stupid shit that takes the focus off his buffoonery, mendacity, and cupidity.

Happy thanksgiving

Just like tax "reform" means tax cuts for the 1%. Watch out whenever the GOP talks about "reforming" something - it means they'll take something away from people who need it.
