Here’s how it looks when you don’t do your homework.

And then do some spreadsheet fuckery.

Damn, this lack of depth of analysis pisses me off. This stuff is not hard. Also, looking for rightward shifts or the refutation thereof just based on spending alone, and in a relatively-small part of the federal budget, is just lazy.

I don’t have the energy to write a whole screed here, but there’s this:

The answer lies in the fact that the major effect of Welfare reform was a substantial increased in administration costs, commonly known as bureaucracy, and wasteful spending. In fact the total amount of administration costs increased by 300%. [2,3]. After doing the math I found that we could double the number of people on welfare without adding a cent to the total cost of welfare, if we simply repealed “The Personal responsibility and work Opportunity act (welfare reform)”. The savings would come in the reduction in wasteful spending.

(I removed emphasis.)

So much wrong with the post and the thoughts therein.

Lately, I’ve regretted reading so much. I hate writing that makes me dumber.
