Welfare Spending Explodes But Poverty Still Remains High

We are getting sick and tired of this media and Democrat tirade that the Trump budget makes “savage cuts in poverty prevention programs.”

We rarely repeat a chart that we’ve shown before, but this one shows that we spend twice as much on welfare as it would cost to pull everyone out of poverty.  So where do hundreds of billions of these dollars wind up?  In the welfare industry’s pockets and in the bank accounts of fraudsters who are stealing money from taxpayers with impunity.

Note to The New York Times: preventing fraud is NOT a cut in welfare benefits. So just shut up!
