Federal judge overturns Florida law requiring drug testing welfare recipients

Myth: People on welfare are usually black, teenage mothers who stay on ten years at a time.

Fact: Most welfare recipients are white, adult and on welfare less than two years at a time.

According to the statistics, whites form the largest racial group on welfare; half of all welfare recipients leave in the first two years; and teenagers form less than 8 percent of all welfare mothers.

Myth: Welfare gives people an incentive to avoid work.

Fact: Over 100 studies have not found this alleged incentive.

Statistics show that average welfare benefits pay below the poverty line and less than a full-time job. Research overwhelmingly proves that welfare recipients prefer work to welfare. The General Accounting Office has reviewed over 100 studies on welfare and concluded that welfare does not significantly diminish the incentive to work.

Rick Perry and Donald Trump have brought back birtherism, for all those looking for someone to hate on.
