social welfare hasn't really declined anywhere ever but has generally increased in the western world steadily for decades including in the U.S.

loving lmao at trying to use a chart showing that average spending on the poor is only $12,000 per capita and trying to claim welfare has gotten better.

Umm what?

Wait... is that adjusted for inflation? Because $4,000 in 1982 is roughly $11, 800 in 2017. So in that case welfare spending would have gone up to match inflation only with no additional increases.

My point exactly.

Lol, what point?

To claim that $12,000 being spent on the average poor person is enough welfare is a loving joke. Keep in mind that's just "spending" and not cash money actually given to the poor.

Part of this whole argument is that one of "the signs of the fall" is extravagant welfare spending, but we don't have that here.
