••47% of beneficiaries were children under age 18.
••8% were age 60 or older.
••41% lived in a household with earnings from a job — the so-called "working poor."
••The average household received a monthly benefit of $287.
••36% were white (non-Hispanic), 22% were African American (non-Hispanic) and 10% were Hispanic.
If all of those kids, elderly, and working poor would just die...we could get rid of all those moochers.
Imagine if the beloved private sector paid a livable wage so the government wouldnt have to subsidize their workers' food supply.
Naw' Id prefer to subsidize them to make sure there is a ceiling on their standard of living if they choose to be parasites. Let em all on the dole and keep em in the trailer parks and ghettos

So basically adults are having children they cannot afford.
I wonder why Conservatives always have to pick on the poor when it comes to issues like food yet have no problems spending billions on the Military and feeding others across the world.

Are you seriously advocating a glass (class) ceiling for the working poor? Wow.
Yeah lets just let them barely survive so they can never be successful...
It's a wash. Pay the employee's more, prices go up and they are still in the same place. The problem is the government has printed trillions of dollars, prices have gone up but wages have not.

Or doling out substantially more to corporate welfare than actual welfare.

It would seem that the Dems have no problem spending billions there either. Some realize you can't just spend billions, here, there, over there, maybe over there, a few billion for that, a few billion more for this, 600 billion to pay off campaign doners, etc.
