I don't know anyone on welfare. Even my non college friends have jobs and families and get by. I know it varies state by state and it's not an unlimited gravy train in most states. How does your average welfare recipients compensation package add up to $70K? Other than food stamps and section 8 housing allowance, what else are they getting? Any why aren't homeless people taking advantage of this $70K compensation package?
