$60,000 a year is spent to 'help the poor'. The poor hardly see any of this in comparison. That is the findings of a Government Study of spending on the poor in the United States.

To be declared poor your household of 4 must earn less than $22,000 USD.

If just sent out as cash every poor family would have a modern day middle wage income. Ofc I do not endorse that but it gives perspective on the waste and fraud in the United States does it not?

US socialism is corrupt, will remain corrupt so long as the current Democrats are in office (at all levels) and is no where near European Socialism. When a European supports Obama he is not helping socialism in the United States... he is hurting it.
