A Witness to Welfares Carnage by Becky Akers

Any number of academic studies document welfares pernicious damage to society in general and recipients in particular. But here is testimony from "Cousin Lucky," a resident of New York Citys public housing. He relies on his own observations rather than research to condemn this wickedness:

I think that the very worst "welfare program" ever put into place is "Aid to Dependent Children"!! Under this program the most extremely unfit mothers have many children that are condemned at conception to suffer 24 hours a day 7 days per week.

In the NYCHA [New York City Housing Authority] building that I live within the prostitutes and drug dealers are treated like royalty because they pay the police to freely operate.

Here children receive very little upbringing or none at all. Many of them have mothers that are substance abusers or just plain nuts. Very few of these children grow up to lead productive lives; most either end up in jail or dead. Some of the children are brutalized or killed by the mothers live-in male guests!!

There is no greater cancer on United States minorities than this one welfare program!!

Cousin Lucky predicts that Trump will gut Aid to Dependent Children and other freebies for the poor (corporate welfare, he hastens to add, will escape untouched). But I responded that neither the new administration nor any other will ever curb these entitlements, given the enormous power they cede government.

I would love to be wrong. But I fear Cousin Lucky is instead. (See more of his evidence against public housing "here" and "here".)
