I agree! Down here in South Georgia everyone and their brother tries to have as many kids as possible out of wedlock because of the welfare benefits they get. That right there is the number one reason why I think the system welfare needs a 100% overhaul.

Welfare isn't a large part of the government budget. It's actually pretty low in terms of cost. Reagan pretty much undid a welfare as a new deal FDR system ended pretty much with Clinton with final reform acts. Interestingly the Obama phone , has nothing to do with Obama, and isn't real the actual program started under Reagan with lan lines, the government subsidized lan lines because low income earners should have a way for employers to call them and for schools to contact in reference to their children. It was expanded to cell phones under Clinton and further under bush jr
Interesting facts
Welfare aka tanf, has 4 million people on it
Less than 1% of the white population is on welfare , less than 3% of the black population is in welfare
Federal aid tanf is less the 1% of annual budget
The biggest social program actually goes, seniors. Vets , and children mainly and that is Medicaid /Medicare at 35% of annual budget , projected to hit 50% in 20 years , mainly due to aging population. And well whites live longer than blacks I'm just saying stop sucking up all the federal dollars and blaming us!!!
All seriousness though the welfare bit is about one of the biggest political Myths that gets passed around
