Wild Bill: Welfare Blood in Ferguson...

wait until the blacks have a bunch of illegal aliens dipping into the welfare bucket.

A slight correction to what Bill is saying is in order here.  Most of the Bosnians live in St. Louis proper, not Ferguson. The highest concentration of Bosnians in St. Louis is in the "Little Bosnia" neighborhood of Bevo Mill.  Ferguson is about 15 miles away.  It doesn't, however, change the main message.

And it's not just the blacks scamming the welfare system.  I know of many young white women with one, two, and sometimes three, illegitimate children, who have a steady stream of different boyfriends living with them.

By not getting married, they qualify for EBT cards, free medical for the children, free childcare, and section 8 housing.  This frees them up to work full time.  The boyfriends usually work full time, too.  You do the math.  And if this doesn't make your hard-working tax-paying head explode, nothing will.

These are not low-class uneducated young women.  Most come from nice families and have decent jobs.  Neither they, nor their parents, see a problem with living like this.

Expect to see much more of this. 

Wild Bill: Welfare Warpath...

"Anyone who is capable of rioting is also capable of getting a job and doesn't need welfare."

Mr. President, where did the money go?...

good question.

Here's a big part of the answer:

From the Daily Caller (emphasis mine):

Report: Welfare government’s single largest budget item in FY 2011 at approx. $1.03 trillion

The government spent approximately $1.03 trillion on 83 means-tested federal welfare programs in fiscal year 2011 alone — a price tag that makes welfare that year the government’s largest expenditure, according to new data released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee.

The total sum taxpayers spent on federal welfare programs was derived from a new Congressional Research Service (CRS) report on federal welfare spending — which topped out at $745.84 billion for fiscal year 2011 — combined with an analysis from the Republican Senate Budget Committee staff of state spending on federal welfare programs (based on “The Oxford Handbook of State and Local Government Finance”), which reached $282.7 billion in fiscal year 2011.

The data excludes spending on Social Security, Medicare, means-tested health care for veterans without service-connected disabilities, and the means-tested veterans pension program.  read the rest

Oh, and did I mention that jobless claims jumped, too?  Well, they did!
