Mark;

A guy was on the news last night and made an interesting statement. He said that welfare for the needy cost $50 billion a year. Another form of welfare is for corporations and costs $170 billion a year. The former is not acceptable to the majority of people while the majority do not know or care about corporate welfare from the federal government.

The last time I looked the cost to administer welfare was over 50% of the budgeted amount. Without welfare for people there would be more unemployment.
