Why fake news...Stu....?
I will grant you, that not all of these benefits apply to every welfare beneficiary, and some are time-limited..However,with a combination of benefits certain qualified people can receive from what would amount to $4,000 and up to $5,000 a month..
In Hawaii, the most generous state,( I know first hand ,I just left there after a year..) a working family of three would have to earn almost $61,000 just to be even with the $50,000 in welfare the government benefits... remember we are talking about Hawaii now... the cost of living in Honolulu is about 65 % higher than the national average...
On the mainland ..there are 8 states, that pay more in welfare than the average salary of a US teacher...which is $45,263 as of Aug.14th 2017..
..and we are in agreement ,,on at least one thing and that is we are in need of welfare reform...big time..
