Drugb posted:Normally you don't proclaim a person to be on welfare if they just get food stamps. Welfare in the general sense refers to a person out of work, not collecting unemployment and able to work but is unemployed. You should not paint was a broad brush and proclaim a person on welfare if they just collect food stamps. Just my opinion. Many elderly on SSN benefits who are retired are getting food stamps and supplemental health care assistance. Now if you want to classify these retired folks as being on "welfare" then that it your prerogative.
the term was broadly applicable to the national welfare ie a safety net to capture those failing a baseline in specific areas from child care, health care, poverty as distinct from corporate welfare. Corporate welfare is gargantum and it all goes to white folks! The numbers above is self evidently bogus.
Why don't you "smart" people edit your post so quotes are not duplicated and the thread becones a mess?
