LOL, if you don't mind the cold you should relocate up here to Vermont. We have perfected the ability for people to reap the maximum benefits for the minimum amount of work. A socialist paradise it is, the premise for the new America.

You don't know do you? That would be because you're talking out of your backside and there are no secret vast millions that liberals are secretly handing out checks too. It really does take a special mix of stupid and ignorance to ever believe that nonsense you wrote.


  • The 4.7 million families currently receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) have already spent, on average, six-and-a-half years on welfare.
  • When past and estimated future receipt of AFDC are combined, the estimated average length of stay on AFDC, among those families currently receiving benefits, is an astonishing 13 years.
  • Among the 4.7 million families currently receiving AFDC, over 90 percent will spend over two years on the AFDC caseload. More than three quarters will spend over five years on AFDC.
