>> I gave you the facts and linked you to welfare's web page and not some hyperbole from a former GOP gov't official in PA who landed a consulting job in Arkansas.

Hyperbole? Can you point to one thing in his graphic or his remarks that is not factual?

Or is it one more instance of you arguing with the facts?


What I know is that you posted a graph, the numbers on which conflict with the numbers presented on the federal web page discussing welfare. This is not unusual and is very typical of the right. One of your pols puts together some numbers......some of which have some basis in reality.........and then creates a world view that isn't all that accurate but you all won't question it because its what you want to hear.

The world isn't flat, Dave..........no matter how hard you all try to make it flat.

Since you are so down on welfare, I am sure you are very supportive of these people......is that right, Dave?

Have you looked at that graph? It shows $17k a year for child care assistance. Where does that come from? Almost nobody qualifies for housing assistance. About the only real assistance that is available for families is SNAP, Medicaid and CHIP. Medicaid only if there are no kids involved.
