I think the point here is that most of the increase in payouts has gone to new recipients, meaning that jobs aren't available. The job creators haven't been doing their jobs.
No data, just my opinion- and by Leeches I don't mean those who actually are in desperate need of a little help and use welfare to get out of a crap situation, I mean those who "get they welfare check and go hook up that whip with some new dubs and get a bag o' dat chronic, dawg."
