And that's just ONE year.  How much "reparations" have been paid out since the implementation of the Great Society programs in 1965?

Hmm using Dummy math the 6 in 606 billion is much more than the 1 in 1.024 trillion.

Let's just start calling extended UE what it is, WELFARE.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
