I can't provide a link because the information that I have available isn't public but for Fed 2014 the total number of cases receiving TANF benefits were right at 3,500. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to but those are the numbers.

I'm not talking about SNAP and any other types of entitlements, strictly TANF (welfare) cash benefits, since that was the basis for the news report.

LOL. Yeah, there's no way it's even CLOSE to being that low, unless you're utilizing an extremely convoluted definition for the term "welfare."

Considering 19% of Louisiana falls into the poverty category.

again, SNAP =/= EBT and I'm speaking strictly for LA, not the country

Your information is way off. 19.4% of Louisiana is at the poverty level, which is 912,000+ people and you expect me to believe only 3500 people received non-SNAP welfare in February?

believe what you want...TANF regulations are stricter than just living at poverty level. For instance, you have to be supporting a child and be a single-parent family to be eligible.

Maybe 3500 is the number of left handed welfare recipients who have blood type AB and drive a Cadillac?

Why did you have to post a pic of Kate Upton?
