See ? This is the kind of misleading statistic that really annoys me:
“Elimination of CalWorks, the state’s main welfare program, would affect 1.3 million people, including about 1 million children. The program, which requires recipients to eventually have jobs, gives families an average $500 a month. Ending those payments would save the state $1.6 billion”
At $500/mo, that’s $6,000/yr per family. In order to total $1.6B for the year, that means 267K families. Meaning an average family size of five for the people on welfare ?
So people that can’t even afford to take care of themselves went ahead and had an average of three kids. More likely four anchor babies and single illegal alien parents. And I am supposed to feel bad about cutting funding to such irresponsible people ?
