Subject: Proof Of Wefare Gone Wild ! ! !
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 US household below the poverty line received $168 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 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the
average job pays $25 an hour. And the
person who works also has to pay taxes, which drops his pay to $21 an hour.
It’s no
wonder that welfare is now the biggest part of the
budget, more than Social Security or defense. And why would anyone
want to get off welfare when working pays $9 an hour less?
