19.5% of America is on Welfare?

[The Duke]

I’d estimate that 20% of the lower-income people who rent apartments are illegals. Think of the drop in demand - and consequent drop in cost - once we kick the illegals out.

Oh, it's going to shake some things up. Housing shouldn't be anywhere near as expensive as it is anyways.
That's mostly on corporate home buying and local governments, but nobody's talking about that hardly ever.
The government making double what the owners do on property every year is pretty bad.
Okay, it's really bad.

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

da

None. We need to eliminate political parties.

You guys make a good point. They keep complaining we aren't having enough kids to replace the boomers who are retiring. The boomers are selling their homes and moving into condos. No one's having kids. People die every day. So why is there a housing shortage?

I'm so glad I bought my condo 30 years ago for $50K.

Also, $20 an hour is $40,000 a year. Share an apartment with someone in a similar situation, and the “household” is bringing in $80,000.

Also, I note that the poster cries that $40,000 a year doesn’t put food on the table, but has no problem suggesting wages be increased - which will inflate the food prices even more - knowing that retirees average about $24,000 from SS.

So….he wants to increase food costs on the elderly with incomes of $24,000 because……waaaaa……workers with incomes of $40,000 can’t afford food.

Socialist thinking. They have no use for people who hav finished their 40-year working career.

Typical response. I'm entitled to my high wages so others shouldn't be.

20 percent on welfare isn't such a huge deal. 1 out of 5.

So then who would your ideal candidate be?

I don’t know of any, as most of our political class are corrupt lying criminals. If I had to pick one of them, it’d be Tom Massey or Justin Amash.

Do you still support this?

Both fine choices. I'd also consider a monkey with a veto stamp.

And 15 million new illegals.

Other people earn their wages. Why should anyone be paid more than their contributions?

Always Messy and Potato Amash? That's about your speed. Contractions all.

I suppose you think the billionaires are paid according to their contributions.

 

[TruthNotBS]

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), ...

These figures will get much worse in the near future, as advanced automation and AGI replace human labor. Our transition from capitalism to techno-feudalism under the heel of billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, is going to create even more welfare recipients, living in poverty (scarcity).

How many billionaires are paid?

Except I’m retired.

And why are you more worried about someone earning $40,000 being able to afford groceries than retirees with half that income. You want to raise wages to make it easier on workers and make it harder on retirees with much less income!

Typical socialist.

A lot of them. Paid by American taxpayers. It’s a racket, but you'll never get it.

A socialist would advocate for low wages for all. I'm the opposite. I like seeing workers get ahead. Low wages do nobody a dang bit of good.
