TRUMP WHITE HOUSE GOES AFTER WHITE PEOPLE ON WELFARE

The Trump administration could hit the president’s white working-class base where it hurts—threatening to make welfare cuts.

“That’s becoming a very big subject and people are taking advantage of the system and other people aren’t receiving what they need to live, and we think
it’s very unfair to them,” Trump said in October (http://www.newsweek.com/under-trumps-new-budget-if-you-dont-work-you-dont-eat-republicans-are-kicking-679749).

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Monday that details of the administration’s plans to overhaul welfare would be released at the beginning of next year, stressing that Trump was particularly interested in the topic.

tax credits and government assistance benefitted 6.2 million white Americans without a degree in 2014,

2.4 million Hispanic Americans without a degree.

any cuts to welfare benefits will hit the more than 6 million working-class white people the think tank says relies on such checks.
