“This is a good change!”
Welfare And Military Service Reform Act of 2022
Rationale
This legislation will create increased access to welfare while giving incentive to work. It also frees our youth from the obligation of military service to focus more on education and the job market, while retaining volunteers willing to serve, and separating the wheat from the chaff.
