SC cutting welfare payments to state's poorest - WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina |
You know what the funny thing is, South Carolina is a welfare state, for every dollar its sends to DC it gets back about $1.35 and it has risen 10 years prior. Perhaps if South Carolina deminted from Washington, it would be even poorer and since south carolina is stingy on benefits for the poor but not corporations , one can argue that the Demints are the real welfare "queens"
