JimLur: If there is "There is corruption at all levels." Why is it that you only bitch about the poor getting a hand up. They need it the rich don't.

And of course you overlooked the 10/1 ratio...

The combined cost of these 10 corporate welfare programs is $1.539 trillion per year.

The three main programs needy families depend upon — Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ($17.3 billion), food stamps ($74 billion), and the Earned Income Tax Credit ($67.2 billion) — cost just $158.5 billion in total.

This means we spend ten times as much on corporate welfare and handouts to the top 1 percent than we do on welfare for working families struggling to make ends meet.
