Just like your skewed view on college, your views on welfare don't have much merit either.
Wow, the cash payouts are even higher than I thought. Michigan alone has over 20 welfare programs, the amount of assistance is crazy. The medical assistance alone is worth $20K(remember, we buy insurance, they don't have insurance, so it's straight cash savings, which, can easily run into the hundreds of thousands), cheaper loans, property tax forgiveness, free education, the list goes on and on. Yeah, they don't get $70K in cash, I never said they did. Don't even get me started on the amount of corporate welfare there is.
