They can make a damned good living on the public dole, if necessary. What a naive and incredibly stupid statement. That chart that you posted is not the reality. Its the BS the right feeds its loyal followers to keep them believing. I have a friend who is a psychologist. She sees this woman who is in her 70s. Worked all her life and now is living on SS and food stamps and whatever other welfare benefits she's entitled to. My friend noticed over time that she was getting thinner and thinner. She asked the woman what was going on.........the woman told her that its hard to keep her food budget with the amount food stamps provides and she runs out of stamps by the end of the third week and must subsist on what's left in her fridge. I looked up what a single person gets on food stamps......it was either $180 or $200 per month. That may be enough in MS or AL but its not in the PNW. My friend now gives her food for that last week each month. [BTW she was raped ten years ago and her psychology visits are paid for by the state] So please stop with the BS that welfare is a free ride. It ain't......except in the minds of Fox News pundits.
