Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 792093, member: 2265"] There is a great deal of truth in your post especially the give aways to public employee unions and many public officals. I would say, however, that the "some form of public assistance" number includes everything from Cash Assistance, Pell Grants, food stamps, and Medicaid (the largest component). The expiration of long-term unemployment benefits is now starting to hit the welfare budgets. I suppose this is what happens in a great recession. We will probably see this for a few more years.
