The Elusive Solution To 'Poverty'

“In 2005 alone, when pretax farm profits were at a near-record $72 billion, the federal government handed out more than $25 billion in aid, almost 50 percent more than the amount it pays to families receiving welfare.”

Some states are largely dependent on such subsidies for their economies to function. Mostly "red" states...

In red states 60-80% of welfare recipients are Democrats, you left that part out.

Talking about farm subsidies, and how they account for a much higher percentage of gross state product in "Red" states than "Blue" states. The outliers of Minnesota and New Hampshire notwithstanding.

That's because you are a mindless liberal drone.

People don't want to struggle to get food, don't blame them for voting democrat.
 
The fact of the matter is we had a great many Americans who had no food or shelter or heat. Then we gave them government assistance and they get food and shelter and heat.

And then the retards come along and say, "We don't need welfare programs! I see no poverty here!"


It is almost surprising how frequently you have no idea what you are talking about.

1. Well, how was "welfare" formerly handled? Noted in the minutes of the Fairfield, Connecticut town council meeting: "April 16, 1673, Seriant Squire and Sam moorhouse [agreed] to Take care of Roger knaps family in this time of their great weaknes...." "Heritage of American Social Work: Readings in Its Philosophical and Institutional Development," by Ralph Pumphrey and W. Muriel Pumphrey, p.22.

2. November, 1753, from the Chelmsford, Massachusetts town meeting: "payment to Mr. W. Parker for takng one Joanna Cory, a poor child of John Cory, deceased, and to take caree of her while [until] 18 years old."
See The Social Service Review XI (September 1937), p. 452.

3. The Scots' Charitable Society, organized in 1684, "open[ed] the bowells of our compassion" to widows like Mrs. Stewart, who had "lost the use of her left arm" and whose husband was "Wash'd Overboard in a Storm."
Pumphrey, Op.Cit., p. 29.


4. And here is the major difference between current efforts and the earlier: charity was not handed out indiscriminately- "no prophane or diselut person, or openly scandelous shall have any pairt or portione herein."

The able-bodied were expected to find work,and if they chose not to, well....it was considered perfectly appropriate to press them to change their mind.

All you do is quote books and assume you're correct about everything.

You mean she assumes that Ann Coulter is correct about everything. Because that is who does her thinking for her.


Hmmm....

...by that token, Joe Biden must be the one "who does her thinking for him."

81% of people receiving public housing benefits vote Democratic – and that’s just the tip of the handout iceberg

In an article published before Romney’s gaffe, liberal economist Paul Krugman blogged that “Aaron Carroll of Indiana University tells us that in 2010, residents of the 10 states Gallup ranks as ‘most conservative’ received 21.2 percent of their income in government transfers, while the number for the most liberal states was only 17.1 percent.”

Romney’s comments only seemed to give the left more reason to summon up statistics like these to “prove” who the real moochers are.

But as solid as the statistics Krugman provided might seem, we’re left with one glaring problem: States aren’t people. Could it be possible that liberals within conservative states are the ones taking the welfare dollars?

A survey by the Maxwell Poll on the political affiliation of those receiving government aid showed this to be the case.

Liberal welfare policy and Zeno's Paradox.
"Achilles, the fleet-footed hero of the Trojan War, is engaged in a race with a lowly tortoise, which has been granted a head start. Achilles’ task initially seems easy, but he has a problem. Before he can overtake the tortoise, he must first catch up with it. While Achilles is covering the gap between himself and the tortoise that existed at the start of the race, however, the tortoise creates a new gap. The new gap is smaller than the first, but it is still a finite distance that Achilles must cover to catch up with the animal. Achilles then races across the new gap. To Achilles’ frustration, while he was scampering across the second gap, the tortoise was establishing a third. The upshot is that Achilles can never overtake the tortoise. No matter how quickly Achilles closes each gap, the slow-but-steady tortoise will always open new, smaller ones and remain just ahead of the Greek hero.



This is a lesson for children....in this case, Liberals, folks with the mentality of a child.

If we use the actual, historic definition of poverty...no home, no heat, no food....it is a soluble problem.

If we use the Liberal (fake) definition, society must keep trying to approach the material equality of those working and earning.
"The upshot is that Achilles can never overtake the tortoise. No matter how quickly Achilles closes each gap"


Government will always keep the goal just out of reach.
