110,489,000 Americans on Welfare

[GeauxLSU]

I assumed the numbers initially presented as welfare to mean TANF, food stamps (the famous EBT) and pehaps SSI (source of income for most Middle Georgians on welfare). Power assistance, day care costs, etc. I did not consider. Do NOT make the assumption that an employeed person does NOT receive wefare. I've watched police officers in Macon buy steaks and crab legs with a Gottdamned EBT card at Harvey's.

Absolutely. The point was with an unemployment rate double that of whites, you'd assume the participation rate to be similar (despite the fact that as you point out some that are employed are also on assistance). As it turns out, it's slightly over triple, which when you consider median income by race, it makes sense (that it would be higher).

So....,
"Blacks are over three times as likely to be on welfare as whites". That is an objective fact (that is very difficult to find published anywhere).
"Blacks and whites make up roughly equal number of welfare recipients". That is also a fact (that is widely reported and misrepresented every where). .

I'm double dipping. I get counted twice in the 'stats'.

I wonder if the Chinese know we aren't spending all that money on infrastructure. It's kind of funny when you think about it. We promise to build roads, bridges, etc., to improve the country for the future and in fact all we've done is create more fat, lazy, uneducated cockroaches that breed at an alarming rate. It's like the bank lending money to a developer then visiting the property and finding only a facade, rotten and overrun with vermin inside when the project is supposed to be complete.

Well I will tell you what if Hillary gets in, I myself will get on welfare I will get food stamps, and any other thing I can get for free. I will become the most cheating low life bastard you ever saw. I will be driving a new Cadillac and have more and better guns than you guys. I will join the low life system and want more all the time, I will help suck the system dry.
