No, not the ones that give healthcare, food stamps, or social security. The ones that are actually costing the avg American household thousands of dollars a year.
The welfare programs we need to cut are the corporate welfare.
The avg American household loses [b][u]$6000[/u][/b] a year to corporate welfare programs.
So I ask, where is the cry from republicans who are "fiscally conservative" to cut these programs that are costing us billions?
[quote]Overall, American families are paying an annual $6,000 subsidy to corporations that have doubled their profits and cut their taxes in half in ten years whilecutting 2.9 million jobs in the U.S. and adding almost as many jobs overseas.
This is more than an insult. It's a devastating attack on the livelihoods of tens of millions of American families. And Congress just lets it happen.[/quote]

I would find multiple, better sources. Also remember that Americans were losing jobs because of the financial crisis and it was the Obama administration who was for the auto bailout and the bank bailouts. Other corporate welfare things are tax incentives so they use clean energy, and other things. There are definitely some programs that should be cut but don't lump them all together. P.S. I'm a liberal.
