Welfare

The Liberal government of 1906-14 established a kind of 'poor person's welfare state'. Provision was wretched (for example, a weekly pension of five shillings for the over-70s) and very patchy. Welfare was expanded in the inter-war period, partly as a result of the Great Depression. It is Attlee's government of 1945-51 that it usually credited with the foundation of the modern welfare state.

In the United States, around 40% of welfare recipients are white. It is important to note that welfare recipients come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Lochore Miners Welfare F.C. was created in 1934.

Welfare fraud. You have people getting it who DO NOT need it or deserve it. You have illegals that get it and have not even paid into the system and that weakens it even more. There are people who need it and can't get it. Some people make $1 or 2 too much to get any help but still they don't make enough to even pay bills..Those that do get it just barely get anything at all.. I know someone who is on disability and for years got ONLY $10 a month in food stamps..which she was very thankful for but what will that buy.. very littel and certainly can't live healthy on that.. so you eat unhealthy and it causes more health problems which cost more money in the long run for health care cost, etc.WHICH isnt' covered and out of her pocket. Then there are people who KNOW that the more kids they have, the more assistance they get.. Some people have kids JUST for the welfare.. You can have 4 kids and get $500-600 a month in food stamps.. if you don't use all that.. you can selll it for drugs or whatever. (and yes, people still do that even though it's on EBT card). For those on food stamps, govt low income housing, etc who choose to try to work, the govt punishes you. My friend went to work and out of every $10.00 she made, she cleared $2,00 before child care and fuel. her rent went up, her food stamps got cut and she lost her medical coverage so in the end.. she was better off not working.. People want to call welfare recipients lazy and irresponsible.. It's not that.. It's just by the time you get punished for working, it's cheaper to sit home.. The govt should reward you for trying to better yourself but they don't.

The foundations for the welfare state were laid in the 1930s with Roosevelt's New Deal. The form we see it now largely congealed in the 1960s.

The article linked to the right from a Houghton Mifflin textbook claims the roots go back further.

Communism has been established terribly. While designed as a future utopia where government will eventually cease to exist, communist states usually turn into authoritarian or even totalitarian states. The less democracy in a country, the more poverty. This is because freedoms are dismantled, citizens usually pay high taxes, jobs have lower pay for "fairness", etc.

It depends on how you look at it. A lot of spending gets moved around so it can be hard to track, for example some military spending isn't strictly allocated to the department of defense but it works its way there through other programs. Looking at the 2012. for entitlement spending there is mandatory spending, things like medicare and medicade, but there is also entitlement spending that goes on in funds that are allocated say to the department of health services. Without actually going through each departments books you can only give a rough estimitation. Here is a very rough guidline, it completely ignores how the departments are allocating spending.

Mandatory entitlements (Unemployment, Medicaid, Medicare, SS) : 2,009 million dollars about 56% of the 2010 Federal Budget

SS: 19%

Medicaid: 8%

Unemployment: 16%

Medicare: 12 %

Defense Spending (including overseas operations): 663 million dollars or 18%

Like I said earlier, these figures are probably lower than they should be because I am only using what the Feds have allocated specifically to those programs. Any monies that end up being used for those programs via other departments isn't shown.

Also, a nitpicking point. Anyone that says half our budget is used on defense is either lying or doesn't understand that they are simply looking at the discretionary budget. Of the federal budget of 3,551 million dollars, 1,378 of discretionary. Military spending is part of the discretionary budget. It is a trick politicians and overzealous activist often like to use to confuse and mislead the public. The truth of the matter is that both military and entitlement spending is way beyound what is sustainable.

*I've seen other figures that show this around 25% of total federal budget.

Firefighters have a series of protective gear they wear when fighting fires. To protect their heads they wear a helmet. This helmet is designed to keep falling objects from hurting the firefighter and the design is styled as to funnel water over the back of the firefighters head so water does not pour down his back.
