Arrington also underscored the importance of work requirements for welfare recipients. In his tweet, shared on April 3, he argued for the economic and personal benefits of such policies. He wrote, “Requiring all able-bodied Americans to work as a condition for receiving welfare would do more than reduce the deficit. It would bring people back into the economy, the source of prosperity and economic independence. A job is the best nutrition, housing, healthcare, education.”
