re: The $82k won't be the typical recipient, its the absolute limit, and it doesn't apply it all states. It was deceptive BS. It's not worth "truth testing" every line in your libertarian blog articles. I don't have hours to research your BS posts. Go Cubs.

Still even in NY state $82k a year is enough that we shouldn't be looking to provide government handouts. It isn't helping out the poor. $82k for a family of four is nothing. You figure $15-20 goes to taxes, another $15-20 goes for rent/mortgage....that's $30-40k right there. Then there is food, clothing, car, insurance, misc expenses. Health insurance for a family of four probably runs $18 per year. You're crazy if you think $82k is a lot of money. The low income median for Seattle low income housing is close to $50k; for NYC its probably closer to $60-70k.
