11 states with more people on welfare than employed
• .[god I'm linking Michael Savage--time to retire] In fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.
I read elsewhere that the $168 is incorrect because it also includes tons of stuff which are NOT received by the poor--and it makes it seem that the poor are actually rich, which is complete nonsense. But I don't expect a loon like Savage to get his facts straight.
