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 ?

Surely you are joking about thinking welfare recipients are responsible enough to not have children they can't support. You get more of what you subsidize. The more kids you make the more you get from CalWorks, so of course they are going to keep making them, and every one with a different last name. Lakeesha Washington. DeShaun Jefferson. LeWayne White. Latifa Mohammad. On and on.
