That couldnt possibly be the yearly cost per household... thats probably the cost per 5 years or something.  Its still way too much though.

There has been a recent report, which I posted the link for, according to which the welfare expense are over $ 1 trillion. There are about 50 million poor (by government definition) in the US. So the per capita spending is about $ 20,000 per poor person and over $ 60,000 per poor household annually.

But due to government inefficiency I suppose at least half the funds at least are wasted on wages for government employees and contractors or by outright theft.

Oh, I misread.  So for the average household that is receiving welfare, that household costs us $60,000

You probably read the post correctly...Actually, I was half asleep and hit POST by accident I think. Anyway, the whole post including the link to the article were absent, I edited it later. So it was my fault, the post was incomplete.
