President Donald Trump’s administration said Tuesday that it is withholding funding for programs that support needy families with children in five Democratic-led states over concerns about fraud.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the program, will require the states to provide extra documentation to access the funds.

“Families who rely on child care and family assistance programs deserve confidence that these resources are used lawfully and for their intended purpose,” HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill said in a statement.

The administration has not laid out details about the fraud allegations.

        i wonder if shtf thinking is realistic thinking since we’re already there and most are unaware of it.

        instead it’s probably better to say once shit piles up enough since it happened so gradually over the decades it’s difficult to see it happening.

          I live in Louisiana, bro. This whole state is one big shit pile and I’m leaving as soon as physically possible.

          It’s just good to have an obvious destination.
