8 $1,789
For each additional person, add: $218

And those figures are for people with zero recorded income. ANY source of income (Including disability payments) deduct from that amount now.
This kinda math and numbers are over my numerically dyslexic head. But let's take all these welfare moms with 6 kids or more. Each of them on food stamps, disability, and whatever other welfare programs they can sign up for.
Before, some of these slugs were raking in about $2,000 or more a month from SNAP. Each of those participants just took a minimum of a $50 per month hit, at bare minimum. So for one welfare mom, with 6 kids, that's $350 a month, bare minimum not getting paid out.
So there's a significant amount of taxpayer money being saved too.
