Biggest welfare states buck the stereotypes (I see a lot of southern states )-

In fact , I kinda think we can afford to feed everybody, the elderly, the working poor, and ALL of America's kids.

No need for paranoia, and scare-mongering...
the real issue is things like FOUR BILLION DOLLARS for one warship. We need to take care of our folks at home.

The righties are against Birth Control. They don't even want insurance to cover Birth Control Pills.

I went to Big Lots and saw the elderly all buying food on sale . The illegals go to the upscale stores and buy the best. I see their foodstamp cards as they buy steak , fancy bakery items etc.

I see it all the time. In NJ and in Fl they live good. The illegal men in NJ would make $1500 a week and their women would live on welfare. They would brag about it too. No shame , none.
Illegal immigration costing record $135 billion a year, study shows | Fox News

The illegals in Southwest tend to make more then that. Arizona has tremendous amounts of illegal aliens trafficking in huge amounts of heroin, meth and every illicit drug under the sun. Yet, the liberals running the state are so light and lax on drug enforcement.

Illegals make huge amount of money trafficking in their drugs from Mexico and walking away from construction sites after being paid without finishing while collecting lots and lots of welfare.

So much drug trafficking from Mexico with drop-houses with pit-bulls for illegals making big money in Phoenix yet the liberals won't do a thing because they are guests, so the red-carpet should be rolled.

While the illegal aliens and women who have babies for a career live luxurious, lavish lifestyles many seniors dig in their purses for pennies to pay for dollar bologna.

Phoenix has so many elderly people living in tremendous poverty yet the illegal aliens are having a field day trafficking in illegal drugs from Mexico and driving expensive SUV's and buying only the best.

Yep, only 135 billion goes to illegal aliens. Could eliminate hunger among America's senior citizens for that.

The illegal aliens and anchor babies have lots and lots of babies because the anchor babies bring tremendous amounts of tax payer money. It's nothing more than a business for them.

Righties are against abortion, but are also against taking care of that child.

People need to quit worrying about welfare families who likely don't have nearly as much as you think. I suggest instead that you pay attention to white collar crime and the heavy costs with this.

No, they don't. 76% of SNAP benefits go to households with children, and only 10% go to households with senior citizens.

Too many people having children they cannot financially support. And that problem will only mushroom as women who receive public assistance, as a group, have a birth rate 3 times higher than women who don't.

Who's going to pay to artificially financially support all the poor?

We have so many homeless people and cities that need infrastructure...We are starting to look like a third world country...We give away so much money that we could be using to take care of our own US population.

The United States has many many MANY adorable children who don’t have a home because they are pushed aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans! Plus, None of these developing countries that we are feeding and clothing are DEVELOPING. WTH?

Better yet, middle income people cannot afford insurance while welfare people gets theirs at a huge discount.

That's what should really pizz everyone off.
