Kevin Cramer: "If you require work for benefits, you really have created some cuts because you've made people more self-reliant and less needy for the kind of largesse that they've just come to expect. It's not good for them."

Kevin Cramer is out here framing cutting benefits as “helping” people become more self-reliant. Newsflash: it’s actually making life harder for those who need help the most.

Low-income Americans who voted for Trump say they are counting on him to keep their benefits intact even while his Cabinet picks and Republican lawmakers call on him to reduce federal spending.

What's up with The Republican Party acting like they're better than everyone else? These privileged, rich jerkoffs don't know other people's situations & what they're going through. Not everyone in America is a fucking scammer like them. Just a bunch of assholes... 🙄

Republicans are ghouls. This makes my fucking blood boil.

Fuck this guy

Ok great. Then congress needs to give up their salaries and benefits. We don’t want them to get used to it or rely on it.

Ah yes, nothing says "compassionate governance" like calling survival "largesse" and treating poverty like a moral failing. Maybe Kevin should try "self-reliance" on $7.25 an hour and see how saintly that feels. Preach harder, Nero. #Gonzo

❌Elon has received at least $38 billion in government welfare. ❌Tax payers give US corporations $270 billion in corporate welfare each year. ✅To end poverty in America it would cost $175.3 billion. Tell me that the billionaires are working for America.

I wish we required work requirements for congressmen and women.
