19.5% of America is on Welfare?

[sealybobo]

Republicans, I will agree with you that this is unacceptable.

Overall: In 2019, 19.5 percent of the total population received or lived with a family member who received a benefit in any amount from TANF, SNAP, or SSI at any point during the year.

Glad to read this

With some exceptions, non-citizens entering the United States after August 22, 1996, the date of enactment of the welfare reform legislation, are not eligible for most welfare benefits, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), SSI, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), ...

Something’s wrong when 20% of Americans need government assistance to survive.

Add the 19.5% to the millions who aren't eligible for many different reasons, and it iindicates that the stated unemployment rate is nonsensical. This is called greedy capitalism.

This is why China has reworked capitalism to make it perform for all the people.
The working class American has bought into the numbers game being perped by government and big business. Huge income inequality statistics make all the favourable numbers out to be a part of the big lie.

That's a pretty bad strategy when you take into account

Poorer Americans have much lower voting rates in national elections than the nonpoor, a study finds.​

And how many of them voted for Trump because they saw him on the Apprentice? And why were so many of them white? Did Trump blow his dog whistle? Yup.

only 46 percent of potential voters with family incomes less than twice the federal poverty line voted in the 2016 presidential election, compared with 68 percent of those with family incomes above twice the poverty line.

The purpose of government, in part, is to aid and assist the weakest of us.

Of course it was.....the only time a Dimwit would ever agree is when the dates fall into Trumps tenure. It would be nice to see the current numbers and if/how they've changed since the Spud stepped in

In the UK it is the same. The reason is that wages are too low and that people in work cant survive on their wages.
In effect it is a handout for shit employers.

Well to have a discussion on welfare it is important to understand why some are on welfare. What cause people to need welfare? The idea that we live in one of the top economies in the word and everyone should prosper is just a dream.

It is not like the want to live in poverty on purpose.

There are many factors from criminal records, deadbeat dad, illness, birth defects, etc

There are circumstances that create conditions that make it hard to escape poverty.

I am not saying it is impossible but the odds are not in your favor.

Poverty Rate by Country 2024

poverty rates by country. Canada, USSR and China to name a few have lower poverty rates that the US. The US rate is not bad. The ones who have better rates

Two are communist countries and one is a democracy but has a strong socialist inclination to provide support to its citizen with health care, unemployment benefits, etc.

Ladies, if you want your son to have ten times the chance to go to prison, have him out of wedlock with you as a single parent.

That is not love by you.

100 percent of Americans received a government handout during the pandemic, and Trump thought it wasn't enough!

SNAP is not the same as welfare.
