So, our government’s “crack down on beneficiaries” also includes disabled children.

Apparently disabled people are, what? Leaches sucking the life out of the economy or something?

How long until disabled people have to “work” for their support? Or perhaps we should just put them on a train and take them to a “work camp”?

TL;DR: people who get things “for free” are anathema to the right wing. Everything must be earned.

More specifically, the core ideology is that the world is meritocratic. Everyone gets what they deserve through good choices. If you’re “unsuccessful” then you made poor choices and therefore don’t deserve to be helped by people who made good choices.
