If it's all someone knows and the way generations have been raised, it is going to continue. Welfare begets welfare begets welfare.

It also begets Democrat votes. - LM

Welfare doesn't "beget welfare." Corporate - GREED begets welfare.

Turns out red state main street WAY more welfare dependent - than blue state

[ In Reply To ..]
A teensy weensy oversight in WT's "Obama's America" stats. Looks like the redder they are, the more dependent they become. Maybe it's because they keep voting against their own best interests.

GOP Congress agenda jam packed with help for - the middle class

[ In Reply To ..]
Immediate priorities:

Keystone pipeline
Repeal Obamacare
PassTrans-Pacific trade deal with Asia
Lower corporate taxes
Make corporate loopholes permanent
Kill immigration EO
Castrate EPA
Roll back environmental regulations
Block Defense Secy and AG nominees
Restart Cold War with Cuba
Cut earned income credit
Cut child tax credit
More tax $s to charter schools
Harsher sanctions on Iran
Resuscitate IRS/Benghazi scandals

Tax cuts for EIC and children are the GOPs payback for Obama's immigration order, since they think it might somehow benefit a "surge" of new immigrant workers. GOP is repelled by the idea of dirty immigrant revenues. Go figure.

Meanwhile a mid November WSJ poll found the People's top 5 priorities were

Lower cost student loans-80% support
Funding for infrastructure-75%
Raising the minimum wage-65%
Emergency funding for fighting Ebola in Africa-60%
Addressing climate change/reducing carbon emissions-59%

Syria: Oil Prices Vs Wall StreetAug 29, 2013
That September drop you were expecting for gasoline prices? Don't hold your breath. Currently, gasoline averages $3.55 a gallon nationally, down from $3.63 a month ago. Most analysts had expected a drop to about $3.40 by early fall on seasonal demand slumping following the summer driving season. Not now. Some forecasters predict a short-term spike of up to 10 cents a gallon. Crude oil prices and gas futures are soaring on growing fears that if the U.S. military strikes at Syria for its h ...

Of late I see an alarming increase is welfare-bashing "journalism."  I see it in my local news, they actually try to chase around the food stamp "cheats" and catch them out. Lazy journalism, IMHO. Why don't you expose the real cheats, the white collar criminals whose fraud is really hurting the system and this country?

The Most Important Wiileaks- How Wall Street Built The ObamaNov 18, 2016
Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn't come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the "main street" President. Just remember this when the MSM ...

Paul Krugman: "Wall Street's Bad Investment Decision."Nov 07, 2012
There are many lists now circulating of the biggest winners and losers from the election; oddly, however, none of the lists I’ve seen mentions just how bad this result is for Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe. The story, as you may recall, is that the financial industry — having brought both itself and the rest of the world to the edge of disaster — was bailed out by taxpayers. Yet far from being grateful, top financial types were furious at Obama for occasionally hi ...

Obama’s EEOC: We’ll Sue You Feb 16, 2013

Al Sharpton Is Obama’s Whipping BoyJan 01, 2015
As more and more racially-motivated attacks against police and private citizens are occurring as a result of the recent and unfortunate deaths of two black men at the hands of police, the blame for all of this racial division needs to be squarely placed on the laps of President Obama and race-baiters like Rev. Al Sharpton. Let’s be very clear. This so-called “man of God” Rev. Al Sharpton is nothing more than President Obama’s whipping boy, who does the president’ ...
