Racism & fear vs welfare for the needy in America. 

Families who are poor, sick, and homeless are not the enemy.  If the Seattle City Council manages to waste $200,000,000 on 12,000 homeless to care for the homeless in Seattle, and the homeless count increases 44%, either the numbers are wrong and misleading, OR the Council needs to figure out what they did wrong!

"White Americans are more likely to favor welfare cuts when they believe that their status is threatened and that minorities are the main beneficiaries of safety net programs, the study says.

The findings suggest that political efforts to cut welfare programs are driven less by conservative principles than by racial anxiety, the authors conclude. T hat also hurts white Americans who make up the largest share of Medicaid and food-stamp recipients. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have proposed deep cuts to both programs."
