America on Welfare | Cato Institute: "There were more than two score housing programs, more than a score of nutrition programs, almost as many employment/training and health programs, and lesser numbers of cash assistance, community development, and disability programs. More expansive definitions count even more programs — 185 total, according to Peter Ferrara."

"Today government at all levels spends around $1 trillion a year on means tested anti-poverty programs."

That is over $20,000 per person in poverty! $80,000 for a family of 4. "With that kind of spending, no one should still be poor."
