misleading

1. there hasnt been a passed budget in 5 years

2. the FACT that the this past year 58,000,000,000 billion was spent on TANF

3. 58 billion of TANF...and 98 billion on food stamps.....and 300 billion on medicaid



welfare is not just TANF...it is also food stamps and medicaid....plus dozens of other little 'programs' that the workingclass is ineligible to get

That's one single program.
What about the cost of the other 82 means tested programs ?

FEDERAL SPENDING

food stamps:
98,000,000,000
.
.
TANF
58,000,000,000
.
.
medicaide:
330,000,000,000
.
.
federal total:
486,000,000,000
.
.
486 billion out of a federal revenue of 2.6 trillion
.
.
that would be about 20%...not 15%
.
.
then add

.
medicare:
564 billion
.
.
thats now 1.05 trillion...now its 40% of the revenue
.
.

.
.
now we are up to 1.9 trillion in spending.....or 73% of the revenue




8 million people collecting unemployment checks weekly
average unemployment check...$330

that's 137,280,000,000.....137 billion dollars to unemployment...thta is SUPPOSED to be only for 13 weeks..but has been extended to 99 weeks

now you just crossed the 2 trillion dollar mark

Yes but to differentiate them from children whose parents are citizens as well I used the term anchor baby.
Their parents are not citizens.

Medicare is not funded by federal income taxes, and I don't consider health care coverage "Welfare"

Another deflection. The person eligible for the benefit is a US citizen not an illegal immigrant. The people that say that illegal immigrants are eligible for welfare benefits are lying - that is a plain and simple fact.

Once again, can you provide evidence that an illegal immigrant is eligible to receive welfare benefits?
