Oh it’s had results, alright.
Cut it out and suddenly people will get jobs.................
Nike, for example, would be out of business if its target customers weren’t a bunch of stunted losers who are willing to pay $500 for a stupid pair of athletic shoes.
Shut down the border and deport illegals
That will cut down on welfare at least somewhat
No welfare for able bodied.
Try it the old fashioned way — you don’t work, you don’t eat.
Reboot the planet? I don’t see how man fixes what’s wrong. There will be no more revolutions for freedom.
There is no free lunch, Abolish all Welfare Programs for able bodied people and put up Soup Kitchens on every corner that needs one
They could start by eliminating the baby factory incentives.
All the more reason to cut social security and Medicare. Saving have to start somewhere.
It was time to cut back 30 years ago.
It’s so entrenched in American culture now than you could no more cut back on welfare payments than you could privatize Social Security.
Take the illegals off the welfare rolls would be a nice start...and any coming over the borderes legal and not if they can’t pay their own way.
Put thm to work cleaning parks and other janitorial types jobs - no work no welfare.
The inflation calculator puts $1.00 40 years ago at $3.08 today—and that’s based on an understatement of the true inflation rate.

The headline is incorrect! The results are exactly what was intended. The Democrats now have a government funded class of voters. They have no reason to “fix” something that isn’t broken.
This is only a VERY NARROW measure of it.
Every Fed.gov agency has an "equity" division. All of them are making loans, grants, payments, etc... basis that.
in 2008 we had a housing/financial crash due to a housing bubble based, in large part, on loans made under the "Community Reinvestment Act" and loans subsidized and purchased by Government supported companies like Fannie-Mae. It was a giant, corrupt welfare-scheme based on housing loans.
That cost the economy $$ TRILLIONS.
I would argue most of what Fed.gov is a welfare/redistribution scheme
The law says those sponsoring immigrants to the United States has to be Financially Liable for 40 quarters, just make Illegal Aliens the Financial Responsibility of Public Employee’s, since they are the legal sponsors.
M<y Wife has a Green Card and I had to pledge my income and assets for 10 Years to guarantee she would not be a public burden
Trump wants to move the homeless to the outskirts of town. That way we don’t have to look at them. Sweeps it under the rug but seems fair. Public sidewalks belong to the taxpayers, not the squatters. Cutting off all welfare would get 30% of immigrants to return to where they came from, just like 100 years ago.
Think London 100+ years ago. Economic capitol of the world and lots of open poverty to go with all the opulence. The poor will always be with us THEY will have to be managed because they can’t. Freedom and markets don’t work for them.
