These 11 States now have More People
on
Welfare than they do Employed
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee
reported that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child
care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty
line received $168.00 a day in government support. The median household income
in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare
now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average
job pays $20.00 an hour.
