[QUOTE="DerHornen, post: 94251, member: 672"] I don't take Snopes at face value either. I actually skimmed through about 5 different articles that came up when I searched the name. The page I linked to was written by someone who mentioned that Snopes didn't have anything about the topic yet. That dollar figure of somewhere in the low $20k's per year seems about in line with what the numbers were. Welfare would be worth a little over $500/month for the whole group, with a maximum lifetime limit of 5 years of benefits. Food stamps for a family that size would be worth about $1400/month. The total for both comes to a little over $22k/year. That author had a good snippet at the bottom: "In 1995, the Cato Institute examined the value of the full package of welfare benefits available to a typical recipient in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. [I]The Work vs. Welfare Trade-Off[/I] found that not only did the value of such benefits greatly exceed the poverty level, but because welfare benefits are tax free, their dollar value was greater than the amount of take-home income a worker would receive from an entry-level job."
