Hey, do the math.
Every welfare mama with two bastiges costs the taxpayers over $100K per year.
I’m all for this idea. Kick their butts off Section 8, stop the food stamps, stop the Medicaid, stop the energy assistance, stop the SSI for having stupid kids who won’t read because they were not read to as tots!
The welfare class COULD NOT MAKE IT ON $40K/YEAR per “family”!
As it stands now in “Allbenny”, the projects are chock full of leased two to four year old BMWs, newly leased Altimas, and seven year old Escalades on RENTED 24” rims.
I mean, what ARE you going to spend your welfare check for when your rent is paid, utilities are paid, food is taxpayer funded (plus your kids get ten meals a week free at school) and your health care expenses are fully paid?
Hey, go get a nice ride, manicures, plasma screens, hairdos, phones, bling, pot, crack, liquor, China-made clothes......
We could pay for it out of existing assistance money and have three fifths of it left over!
I agree....this could work. I mean end all welfare programs as we know it and pay all unemployed Americans $40,000 to actually do something. I believe the US taxpayer could come out ahead on this. Don’t want to work——no $40,000, no welfare. No more sitting around on your backside waiting for the freebies. I’m afraid though that once the Free Sh-t Army figures it out they won’t go for it.
