Taxpayer funded programs that make poverty more comfortable have severely detrimental effects on society. Why go to work if you get everything for free? A decade ago, the “salary” equivalent of all the government programs worked out to over $33,000. To make a $40,000 a year job would require 2000 hours, so you’d effectively be getting an extra $3.50 an hour to go to work. Why would anyone spend all that time working for a few extra bucks?
These programs need to go away.
