$168 Per Day Spent Per Welfare Houshold

[Grandluxe]

Quote from PocketChange:

another perspective:

welfare versus war costs.

at least the cash given to welfare recipients are spent here.
Groceries, medical services, booze, rent, drugs etc.

money spent bombing iraq, afghan etc is money paid to corps or benefits given to non citizens. there is a direct boost to thewar sector companies and there employees and local economy but not to same effect.

maybe 3 cents on the dollar gets injected into the economy for war expenditures versus 97 cents on welfare aid.

Wel-fare or War-fare...Hmmmmm

The Bush tax cuts,Bushs unfunded wars,Bushs unfunded medicare expansion,Bushs massive expansion of government ,Bush increasing defense spending from 300 billion to 700 billion has done much more damage then welfare

We had a balanced budget before all those Bush/Republican Congress policies took effect
