Does it matter Frank? You see, people do NOT drive hours to get their welfare checks. The government directly deposits them into a bank account or they are MAILED. If you're on welfare you obviously cannot afford to be spending your check on gas driving miles to get it!
As for forcing them to "work like slaves" to get the check, you stupid motherfucker! We do not force people into slave labor to get their money! The salaries you are quoting are AVERAGED out. Which means they are grossly INACURATE.
Granted we have our poor JUST LIKE THE UK does. But the Welfare to Work program is set up to teach those who do not have the job skills to earn a viable salary to support a family those very skills.
My mother worked for the NY Housing Authority for 35 years and you can bet I am right. She handled the rent and welfare situation for these tennants in the housing projects and believe me, they usually fared better than we did as kids.
Your twisted deptiction of American life is so amusing.
As for health care costing us a lot of money...... duh..... dumbass it certainly costs more. Why? INFLATION and high insurance premiums. We would rather pay more and get better quality health care and KNOW our hospitals are clean than have the government regulate that and tell us when we can have an operation, what doctor we can see and when and know that even our worst hospitals are better than your best.
