Issue Position: Workfare Over Welfare

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2014
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net

Hard work built America's economy but today too many choose a hand out over a hand up. Jack Kingston has fought to implement a work requirement for able-bodied Americans on food stamps and to restore the work requirement for welfare that was gutted by the Obama Administration. Similar reforms implemented on a bipartisan basis in the 1990s helped lift millions of Americans out of poverty and helped herald in balanced budgets.
