Enough Spent on Welfare in 2011 to Give Every Poor Household Nearly $60,000

The beaurocrats handling the money got most of it as salaries, probably. More money would reach the welfare folks if they just sent it to them. But then, the beaurocrats would be out of a job.

I don't know about that stuff whining about "welfare" but I can tell you this: the CRS report was WITHDRAWN at the insistence of congressional republicons.

Why?
Because the report found no evidence that tax cuts for high income earners lead to economic growth.

In other words, it found that supply-side trickle-down economics is A BULLSHIT SCAM.

Miss Skinny Puppy chick,

Thanks for the news. We all know the currency is worthless. The goal of the elites is to pacify us and dumb us down with bullshit. It's working.

I refuse to be a slave. I hope the same for you.

Get right with your spirit. Your god or goddesss self whatever you may be. Good luck.

Do you believe this because i certainly dont. $60,000 what rubbish.

^^ taheen

Sadly, great majority of the adults in those families, would probably take the cash, and overdose on drugs or be involved in alcohol related crimes/accidents with in the week.

Could you imagine not ever seeing more then a few hundred dollars in one place at one time, and then suddenly having 10's of thousands?

It would be chaos, and then the money would be gone, and of course more would be needed again.

LMFAO!!!

WHAT AN EPIC FAIL OF GOVERNMENT

HAHA

this should serve as an example that the gov has no idea of what economy is.

thats the biggest pile of stinking assumption in this thread!

none of what you say is anything other than

Thank You. Please say it again louder for those not listening.

Firstly this poor household didnt get 60k, not that they deserve a penny for chilling and procreating, but the great proportion is for costs of the bureaucracy. Yes, most of the money was hijacked by Uncles minions, the gummint employee taking for themselves the forced charity from the public

off course it is.

Rigggghhhhhttttt..... and for every dollar actually given to the poor, about 10 is given to the highly inefficient beaurocracy that runs the programs. And if it weren't for the beaurocracy, the USA would be experiencing an extreme depression. Afterall, the government keeps people employed.

Ooops, bad spelling error: bureaucracy

Wow, someone needs to go back to grade school math class.

Those numbers are fake as all hell.

Just giving another reason to hate on the poor is all.

:Alienbitch:

And how exactly do you know those numbers are fake?

And why is this giving a reason to 'hate on the poor'?

seems more like a reason to hate big government waste and inefficiency - doesn't it!?




Beaurocracies are all alike - their first priority is to look after themselves, their fat plushy careers, entitlements and pensions, public image, political ideologies etc ......................last on their list is actually the people they are supposed to be helping.

That doesn't even make sense.

OP's a retard.

Thanks a lot for making go look at an article from the New Replublican. Barf. It hurt! The figures that I have seen, the figure used in the presidential debates, are 45 million have received some sort of government assistance. The 16.8 million used for the calculations in the number of people below the federal proverty rate. (I didn't check that number to see if it was correct.)

Then I used $7.35 as the minimum wage x 40 hrs x 52 weeks and I get a salary of $15,288 for those making minimum wage working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. So, guess what, go get a job and ya still goin be poor!

Trickle, trickle, trickle sure seems to take a long time! Prices keep going up, up, up. One of the reasons being that the rich keep buying, buying, buying driving the prices up! If no one were to buy that $30K+ car, or that gas, or those groceries seems the prices would drop in a hurry!

Welfare is not about giving help to those who need it, it is about creating jobs to distribute whats left over after paying people to distribute it. Guaranteed voters for those who promote welfare.

Right, tax cuts for high-income earners never lead to economic growth.
