Beware of any statistics which claim to provide accurate data on welfare recipients by race or gender.

There are dozens of welfare programs from the Federal level, through entitlements, through the State level through which most of the Fed entitlements funnel in combination with State funds.

Also, much of these funds are distributed to families with children in a household where the adult(s) work but together, as a family, they are below the ‘state’ criteria of poverty.

Many people with disabilities and retired people on fixed incomes, qualify for some type of state welfare although I would not consider them to be ON WELFARE as very often the need is a temporary condition and not a continuous one.

Two other things to consider:
As if it wasn’t already apparent – our blood lines are incredibly mixed – children of single heads of household are just as likely to be of mixed race as the parent is to be of one race. Accounting for race is impossible.

Welfare is often a last choice for people who choose instead to utilize charitable organizations, which in many cases offer a great deal more than state welfare, if for no other reason that fewer questions are asked with less judgment.

ALTERNATIVE: Look up government statistic on poverty but again beware, they often include unauthorized (undocumented, illegal) aliens.

A research project I completed about a year ago indicated that women (while exceeding men in education and recently providing the better of two incomes) also encompass the greatest number of those living in poverty as single head of household.

And this would be me...........I make a decent check but try raising three kids with it and one off to college. One with Epilepsy and one with ADHD.....of course had to split them up to survive?? Concerns....how does it affect sibling be split due to finances....CS never enough to raise kids, but must be low enough for parental survival.......not the same as two checks coming into the home, add medical issues on toip of it and expenses of feeding and caring for an out of state child......extremely hard......but we should be able to survive......the 18th of June I become homeless....sad but true.....I am very ready to pick up my fishing pole and my hunting knife and set off into what is left of wild America. Sad but it feels more secure right now than anything else to me.

I see enough hypocrisy and lies on all sides to dismiss them as worthless.

True - they ARE all worthless, but to re-word Orwell's phrase, "Some animals are more worthless than others" ... I still have to give the 'pubs the edge in marginal credibility ...

I found something funny about Democrats...........they are all fat balding guys or ugly old women............oops sorry thought I had one, but that would be Republicans, too, DAM can not find anything on this one that is actually funny. I do try very hard to see the opposition. I really do!!!

Well, you were REAL close, 'cuz the Dems DO have the ugliest broads around ... somethin' about bein' so sour 'n negative all the time finally catches up to 'em by the time they're in their late twenties ...

Can you say Hillary Clinton and Janet Reno?

neither will the usual attempt to use false paraphrasing to prove some agenda...

my statement was 'to assign that bigotry to any political group specifically is illogical and dishonest'

...notice the word specifically and notice the definition of specific in this context,,

2 a : restricted to a particular individual, situation, relation, or effect

racism is not restricted to any party or any group of people, it is a PERSONAL perception that some will agree with and some will not,,,in ANY group

edit: n/m

Not saying it's restricted, just the Dem's have a proven history of it.

whats proven is some dems have been racist and so have some republicans
