welfare transfer payments

jos - add whatever you can think of that i have left out: eic, food stamps, subsidized housing, medicaid, state provided child support because poor welfare fathers don't step up to the plate, and (...).

when these things are taken into account, the poverty level is not so low. even the so called poor have cell phones, which i think was what chosen was saying.
