You need to be a SINGLE female WITH a child and a MEDICAL disability. A single man can't get half of any of those goodies. Agreed my sister in law falls under this category, she lies about how many kids she has living with her plus she gets the single men to live with her. She doesn't make as much as me but pretty close. It is very frustrating. I would love to tell the state or someone about her but I don't for 2 reason 1 no one would listen. 2 I would hate if something happened to them kids. She has 5 and only 2 of them live with her. It is very frustrating, to work my butt off and she doesn't but karma will get her when those kids turn 18 and then she is out on her ass, extremely fat ass I might add. |

Maine Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an hour. [link to budget.senate.gov] knowing this why is anyone surprised that president santa claus was re-elected?? romney promised to put people to work and provide jobs? pfft....why would anyone want a job? Do these stats include Social Security and Medicare? A lot of articles talking about "welfare" include those items as well. no i don't think it is including that as it says: "food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits." now some seniors could be on food stamps and subsidized housing and i would never begrudge them that, but what i think this is referring to are those who have been on benefits all of their lives. |

Quoting: Imlay Nice job d-bag! Can't figure out why we're in the shitter... OP implies that this is what everyone on any sort of assistance receives, which is far from the truth. Also, people forget 'welfare' requires being a single mother. Conservatives are just as idiotic as the far left.

The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33838111 isn't that interesting??? and how many of those states went for obama in the last election. The South was almost exclusively RED states during the election but yet we are on this list and likely will be forever more now. We already had many counties with a "minority majority" of ration of more blacks than whites even before the more recent influx of all the illegal aliens. Now we are completely over run. Many people do not realize this and that it conbtributes to our chronic poverty. And this is not a racist statement. It's just a fact that minorities have greater participation in welfare programs, higher crime rates and other social problems. I have no answer for any of this and really feel like just giving up now. Pretty hopeless. The good guys lost.

Quoting: calx edit - the question was brought up because the fools in charge have been able to kick the can down the road for so long and we seem to be in the slow strangulation process already. That is precisely why it is going to take perhaps 30 years to recover from this latest CORPORATE nonsense. That is assuming that the deteriorating standard of living can ever be resurrected! Look, go to the Inflation Calculator.com. Type in 1965 and $5 which was by the way what an AVERAGE wage earner might expect per hour and that was LOW. It will convert this amount to the 2013 equivalent. You might be shocked to know that it is OVER $36 an hour. So how did we sustain the economy to this point CREDIT/CREDIT/CREDIT and more CREDIT. By the late 80's most people equated CREDIT with earned income and used it in the same way that is how the hell we got to where we were in 2008. The new normal, credet has dried up/asset value has dropped through the floor/credit cards the driving force might as well be non existant/ the UNIONS that relatively kept up with inflation and drove the expansion of the middle class have been savaged by the Koch Bros and the general population who are totally ignorant or oblivious to what has happened which I am afraid includes you Davvi. |
