HOPE to loose your job so you can 
CHANGE your income to WELFARE?

The key to Obama's political future:  welfare dependency.
 
 
 
Mike Huckabee
 
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average US household below the poverty line received $168 a day in government support.
 
What’s the problem with that much support?
 
Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day
. 
To put it in a way we can all understand,  being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25 an hour.  
 BUT NOTE -   the person who works also has to pay taxes, which effectively drops his pay to $21 an hour. 
 
It’s no wonder that welfare is now the biggest part of the Obama budget, more than Social Security or defense. And why would anyone want to get off welfare when working pays $9 an hour less?
