ATMs ran out of cash, so now we have no idea how those funds were spent, but I suspect many can guess. The Subcommittee on Welfare, on which I serve, recently had a hearing on this fund. One witness noted taxpayers already spend an incredible $953 billion per year on welfare and other low-income benefits. I asked the administration witness sent to us is she still asking for more welfare spending. I said, Is it your testimony that $953 billion is not enough? Her answer was telling: Who's to say what is enough? It is time that the American people are saying this is enough and so should we.
