in 2012 alone almost a trillion dollars was spent on poverty programs. About 800 billion from the feds and the rest from statesWith all that free stuff, being poor almost sounds like a wonderful dream. Shit I wonder why more people don't just quit their jobs and live like kings on public assistance? Could it be that the welfare programs do not meet even the most basic needs of the people on it? These people who have a picture of the poor being well taken care of and having no incentive to work just do not have a grasp of the reality of poverty in America, just because they have it better than people in Ethiopia is pointless to the discussion, in America they should not even exist in the numbers they do.
Rabid, sadly, has bought into the RW propaganda that the Poor are getting over on him with the pittance we spend on anti-poverty programs and not the big corporate welfare programs that he is subsidizing to the rich can continue to live large.
I do not call that a pittance
