Moore: Unleash Prosperity Hotline – Leftists and the media are ramping up their attacks on the Trump tax cut bill with claims that, as House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries put it last week: "People will literally die" from the GOP work requirements. The liberal Center for American Progress claims deaths will number in the "tens of thousands of Americans each year." And they add: "These estimates are not hysterical."
One liberal group estimates 36 million Americans will be at risk of losing health benefits.
We're having deja vu.
They said the same thing 30 years ago when Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress instituted work for welfare requirements. Frank Lautenberg from New Jersey predicted "hungry and homeless children" would be "begging for money, begging for food" as in the streets of Calcutta.
Democrats in the House said Republicans would "have blood on their hands."
Guess what? Poverty didn't rise. Hunger didn't rise. The overall child poverty rate fell to its lowest level in decades.
Then this happened:The liberal Brookings Institution found that work requirements incentivized people to get jobs, and 10 years later these folks climbed the economic ladder and were BETTER OFF.
But now, everyone is going to die! Again.
