What a lot of people don't realize is that welfare funding often remains below the poverty line. Historically, overall funding for welfare has been as low as 1% of federal spending.
The other thing is that welfare families, on average, have no more children than other families, and most of them want to work but have trouble finding it (and they also have recent work histories).... The welfare status of most of these families lasts around a year, with a clear majority of them being no longer on welfare within 2 to 4 years.
How easily we overlook typical cases.
