Trump tees up welfare reform

Republicans searching for their next major task after tax reform may have found their answer, and it's not infrastructure.

Over the past few weeks, President Trump has been talking up reform of anti-poverty programs, and House leaders have begun preliminary talks with his administration on what they could accomplish through a welfare overhaul, aides say. The White House, meanwhile, is preparing an administrative reordering of the welfare system regardless of whether congressional Republicans act.

Trump has suggested more than once that welfare reform might be the next big legislative item on his agenda, although he has also indicated that a major infrastructure bill or another attempt at healthcare legislation could be next up on the docket.

For decades dems have been piling one welfare program on top of another with zero regard for overlap, efficiency or even effectiveness. Success is measured by amount spent, the more the better of course, never by outcomes. Failure is nothing but an excuse to throw more money at the problem. And of course their one-size-fits-all approach is a joke.

Wouldn't it be great to let states implement the programs they want in the way that best addresses the needs of their own residents, and actually holds elected official accountable when results don't measure up to promises?
