> It's a thousand bucks- pretty hard to live large on 1k. Besides, comparing the issue of poor people abusing handouts to corporate welfare is molehills to mountains. If your concern is abuse having a detrimental impact on the society as a whole, don't look at poor people. Absolutely, I agree that the corporate welfare is absurd and I was completely against the bailouts. I'm not singling out poor people but rather abusers of the system. I completely understand needing welfare to help you get you back on your feet after being let go from a position. I would also hope that people can budget better in the case of no work for a while.
