I might also add that the entitlements are not the complete cost to the taxpayer. You also have to factor in the cost of the eligibility worker pay, the social workers pay, the cost of the building and its associated costs and the cost to those who cut the checks, set up the computers and maintain them. The cost of just having the programs function in addition to what these people are receiving are huge. This is why California is so broke. When you really break down the actual costs they're astounding.
