Since 1970, the U.S. has spent around 7.5 trillion dollars on welfare. So what, you ask, did we get for our $7.5 trillion? We got millions and millions of perpetual welfare leeches.
We could have had a nation of people that are much more self reliant and chopped $7.5 trillion right off the top of our enormous national debt. But no. We paid for these people to become dependent on handouts so that they can continue to be a drain on our resources.
There is no answer. For all the honest folks on welfare, there are just as many lazy slobs who refuse to work. If we took their benefits they would be out there robbing people and breaking into stores. They've grown up seeing family members using the system. It's too broken now I think. It will take major pain and suffering to change the cycle of dependence and apathy among a lot of these folks.

In the same time we spent 22.5 Trillion dollars on weapons of mass destruction that threaten the survival of all humanity, to sell weapons to other nations and our own forces that have killed nearly 3 million people since 1970 and have created a multi-trillion dollar liability for those injured in all our unnecessary wars . An even better job right wing Republican hawks!!

According to you since 1970 we spent $7.5 trillion on welfare. That money gave hungry children food, bought poor people clothes, and stimulated local businesses when the welfare recipients spent the money.
But what does republican corporate welfare give us?
What did these handouts give us?
Answer: They added $1.8 trillion to our national debt, financed the building of new US factories in Asia, and a purchased a bunch of new corporate jets.
And what was Romney's $6.6 trillion dollar handout gonna give us?
Answer: $6.6 trillion added to our debt and a bunch of new US factories in Asia.
I will support the democrats welfare because the money gets spent in America, the money gives hungry children food, and its cheaper. Example, Mitt Romney tried to spend as much money on tax cuts for the rich (in one year) than democrats have spent on welfare (in 35 years.)

??? As adults not raising children, the robbers and looters are not the ones on welfare.
