much of that money is eaten up by administrative costs, private contractors, corruption, waste, duplication of effort in 10 different government departments-—in short, it is a clumsy, wasteful bureacracy that swallows the money, not actual poor people.
Oh, Absolutely!!!
The government itself ADMITS that the welfare programs are only 30% EFFICIENT!! When you consider that the average welfare recipient gets $30,000 per year in benefits that meant that there is $70,000 eaten up by the bureaucracy, which is a decent full-time salary
so.. there is the equivalent of one full-time government employee for every person receiving welfare.
