The welfare state has exploded under Biden-Harris. Democrat-run Massachusetts recently revealed that they added an astounding 672,483 people to its EBT card and welfare programs, a 34.6% increase in a 14-month period! These figures indicate that 10% of the entire state is currently on welfare.
State Senator Ryan Fattman is demanding an audit, believing this uptick in welfare recipients correlated with the $3.1 spending package for migrants that passed in December 2023. Yet, migrants are allegedly not qualified to receive EBT or food stamps. How else could such a large portion of the state’s population end up on welfare in such a short amount of time?
The unemployment rate reached 3.7% in Massachusetts this August, up by 0.2% from the month prior, but 0.5% lower than the national average. Labor force participation remains at 66.3%, the highest for the state since June 2020. There is no reason that resident in Massachusetts should be experiencing poverty at such a significant rate compared to the rest of the US.
Government programs are ineffective because they are prone to greed. These agencies rarely pass audits during the off chance someone bothers to conduct one. All we hear is how the state and federal governments simply have ran out of money and aid, when in all reality, they have no idea where or why their funds are dwindling.
