I dont have a citation for it, doubtful you have one that would say otherwise.

I shouldn't have used the word fact since I base it on my personal knowledge and observations of knowing plenty of welfare recipients. Growing up in East Oakland, working in foster care and group home systems and having about 10-12 family members that are on some sort of public assistance and have been for quite some time.

I apologize, I was out of line

I would love to say the Dems are all good and the GOP is all bad, but I cant. I am not being Centrist, I am just making the ugly observation of checks and balances on both sides... at least for the things I love about my country.

I just think throwing obese, mid west, christian and other conditions under the bus as "the root of the problems in this country is far too acceptable... and I am none of these... but if it was skinny, far east, Hindu getting tossed around, there would be a candle light vigil.
