The plan targets the most vulnerable people in the country by expanding work requirements for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Republicans also successfully fought to cut $20 billion of the $80 billion in new IRS funding approved by Democrats last year to go after wealthy tax dodgers, according to the Washington Post.
