The Libertarian Faerie: A Fable
Americans watched as their leaders battled: Senate versus House over the fate of food stamps:
Republicans have emphasized that the bill targets able-bodied adults who don’t have dependents. And they say the broader work requirements in the bill are similar to the 1996 welfare law that led to a decline in people receiving that government assistance.“Politically it’s a great issue,” says Rep.
