the president's proposal was $200 billion in federal investment, democrats have a different proposal, they went $1 trillion in direct federal spending on infrastructure. where do you stand on that? >> we need at least $3 trillion in spending in the federal government has the resources and this goes back to the beginning of this administration. if we start spending money building america instead of dropping bombs and other countries we will have a limited money to rebuild america and put america back to work with good paying jobs. it is about jobs, building and we can rebuild this country and i'm glad the president is making a start. the numbers need to be pressed up because states and localities don't have that kind of money to

appreciate it. this is a quote from the agriculture secretary. long-term dependency has never been part of the american dream, the goal is to move individuals from snap back to the workforce as the best long-term solution to poverty. that makes sense. >> it makes a lot of sense. the goal, the overall goal is to move individuals to be self-sufficient and not to depend on the government. we are talking able-bodied people utilizing food stamps. in west virginia the case study here, perhaps other states will go along as well. we are looking at individuals that range from 18 to 49 years old who are able to work, able-bodied, to not be dependent on the government. this is a good idea.

heather: in 2016 there were 357,000 snap recipients, the goal of this program is to lower the number. >> no one's goal is to stay on government time but different things happen to different people at different stages in their lives. people don't wake up and say let me figure out how to live off the government. the pilot project initiated in 9 counties in west virginia created unique result, the decrease and local participation in local stores, not many people using the snap program instructor dependency on food stamps in the area and feeds into a broader attack we have seen from the gop, we have seen this time and again through their budgets and senate proposals. it is sad and disgusting when you look at what they are saying to poor people at the have nots.

>> you assume people using them are democrats. people who are out of work or like you mentioned hard on their luck, suffering a bad time, republicans and democrats. >> i don't disagree with you. poverty does not the racial divide, does not see political divides, or any of the things, but when people need help the government has a role, a responsibility to be there and not play political games with the livelihood of people in this country. >> we are talking about able-bodied people who are able to work. >> you are making an assumption. >> i let you speak so allow me to speak. nothing good will come from a 25-year-old sitting on the couch gaining benefits when he or she is physically able to work and people who are exempt based on federal guidelines our veterans,

friend on the other side that you are making assumptions about people being able and willing to work, you don't know people situation in west virginia. you want to talk about the unemployment rate we have a big problem called skills gap program. there are jobs available but not the necessary skills to fill those jobs. there is a gap somewhere so wind to be encouraged and workforce development programs and we can talk about the african american unemployment rate being low. there is an easy right-wing talking point. i let you finish. let me finish my point. communities of color are experiencing what no other communities are experiencing when it comes to unemployment rates because they cannot find jobs. >> we do know her statistics are right in terms of black unemployment, things are getting
