More to the point..WHY DO YOU KEEP TRYING TO DO IT OVER AND OVER? Other than to prove your insanity.
According to a study conducted by the conservative Heritage Foundation, the government has spent $22 trillion of U.S. taxpayer money fighting poverty. "Adjusted for inflation," Heritage found, "this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history since the American Revolution." And there's been little to show for it.
The study, conducted by Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield, revealed federal and state governments spend $1 trillion annually on 80 means-tested welfare programs. One-third of all Americans receive benefits from at least one government program that could be defined as welfare, they say.
The Heritage study concludes that despite all this spending, much of which continues today, despite efforts to trim the welfare budget, the number of people considered below the poverty level remains about the same as when the war began.
