“Transfer of Risk: Trump’s Bad Unemployment Data, Uber and cuts to Medicaid and Food Stamps” 1. Are President Trump and his administration transferring risk from government to the individual using Uber, Medicaid changes, and Food Stamp changes as tools? 2. Was President Trump’s Black Employment Data Accurate showing a nearly best ever 6.8% black unemployment rate.? Doesn’t Count Incarcerated, Uber is now added as of 5/17/17, and underemployed underrepresented.

From one to the next? 4. Is the January released Medicaid change to have a able bodied work requirement to get Medicaid which is health services about responsibility or cost cutting and transfer of wealth? On Thursday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, issued new guidelines for states that want some adults to work in exchange for the health insurance coverage. Under the rules, states can require Medicaid beneficiaries to work, volunteer or participate in job training. 5. Is the December proposal released by the USDA in a memo to make SNAP amd other programs more flexible in administration by the states a way to gut the program and transfer responsibility to churches, and extended families? The Department of Agriculture is allowing states more flexibility under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service issued national program guidance Wednesday that allows the new flexibility. The new guidance clarifies that while certification decisions must be made by state employees, FNS is expanding the possible use of contracted private-sector staff to provide basic case-specific information. Previous guidance restricted state contractor staff to a much more limited set of activities. USDA says that the new policy maximizes flexibility within the law related to the SNAP certification process, while holding states accountable for ensuring eligible people have access to food benefits as they move toward self-sufficiency. 6. What is the ultimate consequence of a massive transfer of risk on to a black America that has little to no wealth?
