I understand people get upset about welfare abuse, and rightly so. However, I do not think any child should go hungry due to being born to the wrong family. The money spent on welfare goes back into the economy quickly- yep, probably some abuse, but it does good. People foam at the mouth about welfare abusers -- I am glad I am capable and able to earn a living without being in need. I think the gov needs to do more for people who have children who are ill with very expensive diseases and medication. I would like to know- how much money is spent on walfare yearly? How much was given to the oil companies ($35 billion) tax break? A couple of billion here and there to pet pork-barrel projects as well as billions to military spending for items that have nothing to do with basic need-- look at the Boeing refueling fiasco. Welfare is a drop in the bucket--
