Trump’s welfare reforms are a major victory. Bureaucrats could still wreck them
While the 1996 welfare reforms led to notable progress, current federal welfare spending is reported to be 2.7 times higher than in 1996. In response, President Trump enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which aims to close loopholes for food stamps and introduce work requirements for Medicaid. Furthermore, the act mandates that states contribute financially if they allow waste, fraud, or abuse in these programs.
