Lawmakers should be drug tested.

“As a strong advocate for social programs aimed at combating poverty, it deeply offends me that there is such a deep stigma surrounding those who depend on government benefits, especially as a former welfare recipient,” Moore said in a statement. “Sadly, Republicans across the country continue to implement discriminatory policies that criminalize the less fortunate and perpetuate false narratives about the most vulnerable among us.”

How about this false narrative: that any of these programs "combat" poverty.

I have no problem seeing programs help those not able-bodied or able-minded. But those to whom that definition does not apply to have not been helped by long-term dependency on such "aid". 60+ years of doing this has only brought us higher poverty rates, more single parent homes, higher illegitimacy rates, and a social safety net that will topple the next time we have a financial crash. If this is how to combat a problem, then we've certainly lost the war.

WTF have conservatives done EVER, to combat poverty???.

WTF has "anyone" done ???

Reality is when something gets subsided, it flourishes almost 100 % of the time.
In example, farming, business, and a prefect modern model, our Federal government. (Just look at where the biggest economic growth in our country is...hint Virginia/ DC area)

Poverty is no exception.

They ended slavery. That was probably a half decent start.

YOU, comparing the party of Lincoln to the "conservatives" of 2016, shows how truly ignorant you are. Grin 😛

You asked for an example. Sorry you don't like the answer.
