Work requirements for welfare is an incredibly good policy. The dignity of work matters. Democrats don’t want requirements—they want able-bodied adults to stay home. Once again, the Biden White House is serving their own interests rather than the American peoples’.
@SenTedCruz @kerpen Clinton put in work requirements, what happened to those?

@SenTedCruz We want a clean debt limit increase, just like you gave Trump three times while he added 25% to the National debt.
@SenTedCruz Apparently the FDA wants people sick with long-covid/cfs/ME to stay home too when you look at their unwillingness to provide Ampligen via expanded access… God forbid people privately try the drug and find it successful…then insurances might have to cover a treatment!! 😨
1) Majority of recipients already work 2) Work requirements have shown to not solve poverty or get people off of the programs. Why is this? Because so many jobs don't pay a livable wage. There is no "dignity" in working 2 jobs, still not being able to pay your bills, then taking government benefits and being attacked for not working hard enough. -Raise the minimum wage. -Put a tax on corporations where the CEO pay is above 40/1 of their workers. -Use work training programs instead of work requirements -Use actual data to determine policies, not how you feel about people. You don't serve the interests of the American people Mr. Cruz. You serve yourself and your donors. Discuss that on your next podcast.
@SenTedCruz Texas in eligible low-income households. Most adults ages 18 to 49 with no children in their home can get SNAP for only three months in a three-year period. The benefit period might be longer if the person works at least 20 hours a week job or training program.
@SenTedCruz Who gets 2 determine who can and can not work? There r special circumstances; Some people have 2 take care of loved ones while being sick themselves...Some r able 2 do normal things but unable to work due 2 above conditions
@SenTedCruz Raising the minimum wage would also help people get off federal assistance and give them more dignity
