This is really an odd subject, even here on Ree Republic. I have published this same fact on many threads, and usually got a ho-hum response. YET THIS IS THE CANCER THAT WILL EAT THE COUNTRY ALIVE.
I find people, even here, completely passionate about health care costs, illegal immigrants, cost of overseas wars, green jobs, etc. etc, yet NONE of them represents the threat that welfare does.
Back in the 90’s, the master snake clintoon, and his minions convinced most of the sheeple that welfare had been “ended.” What they actually did was scatter it throughout the Federal Budget, call it different things, and make it nearly impossible to account for.
This group, http://www.heritage.org/ are the only people I have found that have tried to find all the various places that welfare has been hidden, and accumulate the total costs. And I suspect they have missed billions.
Yet the country, even conservatives, will continue to obsess about illegals and health care costs, while we are slowly boiled alive.
Because of the importance of this issue, I continue to be mystified at the lack of coverage.
Do you remember when Reagan was president - there was a story on the news every night about starving people, cost of food and gas, increasing ranks of the poor, people losing homes? Things are much worse now - and we talk about women in binders endlessly.
