http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/09/ammo-for-your-liberal-friends.html Just wanted to start your day off with a little tidbit that you can be sure to pass along to your liberal friends who are oh-so-convinced that George Bush is still the reason for this country's problems. We've heard Barack Obama touting this line for months ... the war in Iraq is taking a serious toll on the economy. Well as it turns out, Barack Obama should look himself in the mirror. Here are the details. The Congressional Research Service tells us that the total cost of the Iraq war under President Bush was $622 billion. Do you have any clue how much Obama is going to spend on welfare, treating America's parasite infestation, in just 2010 alone? Care to guess? Well ... let's try $888 billion. Yup, you got it. That's about $260 billion more than the cost of the Iraq war under Bush. And what will we get for that money? An entrenched welfare class, that's what. Our parasite problem will become even worse. Frankly, we got a lot more bang for the buck out of the war in Iraq. Just trying to keep the truth. I mean, where else do you think you will find these facts ... the mainstream media?? You Obama lovin dumbasses.
I don't know anything about this website. But I can tell you its bullshit, Joe. $560 a month per household?!? That means if 10% of our population is on welfare... they will receive 5600 dollars a month in welfare. That's more than I make on my best month. Trust me. I went to the welfare office after my heart attack. I had a fmaily of 4 and zero income at the time. You wanna know what my benefits were? 130 bucks a month for food. 340 dollars a month for living costs. I was denied Medical Benefits because I was told it would take 6 months to receive an answer. In that time I would have been dead. I took the food stamps and didn't take the other money because I started receiving unemployment at week 6 and that is considered income. Am I a bum for going there? I don't think so. I just needed help badly and was not allowed to work for medical reasons. Did I receive over 5000 dollars? Oh hell no! None of the other nig-nogs on my block do either. They are all poor as fuck. Can barely afford to put diapers on their worthless kids. But they're lazy so it's different for them. If you find a way for me to get 5000 dollars while you're reading these weird news sites... drop me a line. I could really use some help getting my mortgage caught up.
I clicked on your link "here are the details". It claims that each household will pay 560 dollars a month for welfare. If 10% of our households in America are on welfare, that comes to over 5000 dollars a month for each welfare household. Frankly, I'd be retarded to work if I could make 5000 a month sitting on my ass. But it doesn't work that way.
Ok well then it makes since the person who wrote that assumed the reader would be more advanced than to make that assumption. They are talking about welfare from a much broader perspective. Everything from school lunches to as you mentioned direct welfare recipients. But honestly you did know that didn't you?
Let me make it simple to understand. Iraq war 8 years under Bush 622 Billion. Obama's words himself were saying that Americans were tired of paying something to the tune if 200.00 per month. Obama Socialism in 2010 alone $888 billion. Using Obama's math and we are talking about ten times more money being spent if he keeps up the pace. I think 500.00 or even 600.00 is a VERY conservative figure.

"The Reagan administration had people who knew of small business," he said. "They should carve out $100 billion right now and create something like $5,000 to $6,000 job credits that would drive the hiring of young, idled workers by small business." Angrisani said the stimulus money going to extending unemployment benefits is like a narcotic that is keeping the unemployed content -- but doing little to get them jobs. Labor Dept. statistics also show that the number of chronically unemployed -- those without a job for 27 weeks or more -- has also hit a post-WWII high.
