They probably do. When you crunch the numbers and add up all the costs of what they're receiving, it's a hefty chunk of money. That girl alone is getting $6,000 a year in food stamps, I would imagine that medical for 6 people,(the mother qualifies for medical if the kids do) is probably another $7,000 a year. Now add in the WIC another $1,000. If she's getting any cash allotments it would be at least $20,000 (this cash is hard to get now, but some still do) and if they're getting section 8 housing that would be another $18,000. But the big bucks come in when you add up the education costs. For those five kids for one year it would be around $45,000. So you add $7,000 + $1,000+ $20,000+ $18,000 + $45,000 equals $91,000. Yes, $91,000 of your tax dollars to support this girl and her five kids. Mind you that's tax free to her. How much would you have to make to clear $91,000? And this girls story isn't anything unusual, actually it's quite common. And even if she weren't getting all of those public assistance programs, she's getting enough that it brings her income way above many of those who are paying the taxes to fund the programs.

Without figuring in the education, it represents about $24.00 an hour, pre - tax, if one were to work 40 hrs a week for a whole year - no time off.
How would that figure Head of household and 5 for a payroll check? What would gross pay be with $961.00 a week ($24.025 hr) as net pay, figuring in state, federal, SSI, disability, and the rest? Anyone do payroll? Some more questions concerning double dipping: Does she have a boy friend or husband, declared or not? Does he work? Does he live with the family? Does he contribute to the household? Does he work for cash?

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.

It would take an audit do break down the cost, but the point I was trying to get across is when considering the recipients gain is not the only cost associated with welfare.
