Need to get your blood pressure up?
These are Welfare payments per State:
1. The free money is more than $15 an hour in 13 States, more than $10 an hour in 34 States, and more than a full-time job in 35 States. 2. Welfare is more than a newly college educated teacher in eleven States makes. 3. Outdoes the salary of a computer programmer in three States! 4. The highest welfare payouts are over $20 an hour! |

Hmmm... Being 49th on this list is NOT a bad thing.

We...yes and no. The 10 states receiving the most in federal aid as a percentage of their general revenue, in order, were:
Mississippi, 42.9% federal aid as percentage of general revenue Louisiana, 41.9% Tennessee, 39.5% South Dakota, 39.0% Missouri, 38.2% Montana, 37.4% Georgia, 37.3% New Mexico, 36.6% Alabama, 36.1% Maine, 35.3% The percentage of Americans now receiving a federally-funded “means-tested program” now stands at 35.4%. When you add pensions, unemployment, Social Security, and Medicare to the mix, the percentage of Americans relying on government for part or all of their subsistence is 49.5% of the American population. The bottom line is that spending on Welfare is out of control everywhere. In FY 2017 total US government spending on welfare — federal, state, and local — is “guesstimated” to be $1,127 billion. |
