[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 1976159, member: 8119"] The thread was: Welfare - how bad is it? Per the facts. ...Not per the hype/opinion/or emotion of the day. This website states that only 4.1% of people are on welfare. (food-stamps and unemployment are separate) Here: [url]http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/[/url] That's pretty low. Only 4 people. ...out of 100 people. ...NOT 47 people (47%) - just 4. The system is working like it should. Most are using it as a safety net. Yes, there are some abusers of welfare. That's a failure of the oversight of the system - not a failure of the system. And at worst - the 'abusers' are still less than *4* people per 100. (much less than 4% - my opinion). Are we really splitting hairs over 4% of the population? If this is a huge problem - please provide some data and facts. Nicely said. [/QUOTE]
