I just saw this in other post, and in my view there can only be ONE reason for such drastic spending on welfare - the nation is so corrupt, that it can only sustain itself by invading other nations and putting it's own people on welfare, knowing full well that if they get off welfare, people will rise up and start rioting. basically America is on a total life support. And the fact that it already has the highest prison population in the world also supports this theory. But let's see if the people agree with me

Well, 1.8 trillion went to the secret dog assassination conspiracy program. Perhaps you're familiar?

Ever heard of social justice? It's an expensive agenda.

I wonder what happened five years ago that could account for increased welfare spending. Hmmmm ...

Oh yeah, the economy ****ing cratered and millions of people lost their jobs. Jesus, some people around here have short memories.

And Bush never existed. His legacy was thrown into the memory hole.

Happy 5000th post!

Welfare and defense.

I am against spending on social programs as much as the next guy, but I cannot support a government that is reliant upon others. what kind of government sets the example that it is ok to rely on others then punishes their constituents for doing the same thing. I continue to advocate cutting the deficit and social spending at the same time, meaning we spend less and less on welfare, etc at the same time that the government is relying less on other nations to pay the bills. It is only fair to expect the same from both the government and the people. It is hypocritical to say the least to hold the people to a different standard than the government.

Because revolution would hurt a lot more. lulz
 
Re: Does anyone know why America had to spend 3.7 TRILLION on welfare over the last 5

Because in 2008 the economy flushed down the toilet for everyone resulting in an increase in poverty that resulted in a lack for people to sustain themselves out of their own efforts.

I personaly cant wait for China to go through that exipiriance (again when considering what happend in the late 19th century and the early 17th century).

That's a little below the belt, eh?

I suppose that depends on what you believe.
 
Re: Does anyone know why America had to spend 3.7 TRILLION on welfare over the last 5

I don't think America spends very much on welfare in the first place.

There's no conspiracy but his dogs were shot.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

It depends on what one considers welfare to be. Just straight cash welfare from the actual welfare program TANF? Nowhere near $3.7 trillion over 5 years.

At least they weren't hungry.

My dog is a secret agent, drives an Aston Martin, has a passport, and is in North Korea right now spying on Dennis Rodman.

His name is 007, and he has a license to growl.

Crunch the numbers Muhammed.

It's cheaper to teach a man how to fish.

Telling a man he has to purchase a fishing licence to fish is the same as sodomising someone without giving him a reach around.

I hate to tell you this, but some barbecue orders just went through my office.

He knew the risk.

Buying power isn't cheap, gotta create lots of hate, rage and then steal from the successful and buy power from the masses - isn't cheap man!

Feeding and helping those in need should be our top priority. As a country, a society and as people. Why did we spend so much? Because the way our country and the world works people need help.
 
Re: Does anyone know why America had to spend 3.7 TRILLION on welfare over the last 5

Because people can be poor, out of work, struggling financially, etc, but I'm just spit-balling here, I guess. I heard there was like this economic crash in 2007, nasty stuff apparently.

Because in 2008 the economy flushed down the toilet for everyone resulting in an increase in poverty that resulted in a lack for people to sustain themselves out of their own efforts.

I personaly cant wait for China to go through that exipiriance (again when considering what happend in the late 19th century and the early 17th century).
The people aren't really living the dream though.
