Welfare Programs Up 41%

I was watching 'America Live' today on Fox news. They reported that the Cato Institute released a new report about welfare spending.   Anti poverty programs  are up 41% since Obama took office.  Federal & State combined, spends $20,610 per person equaling $61,830 for a family of 3 per year.

AS I SEE IT:  A lot of people I know do NOT make 61,830 per year and have more than 3 in their family.  So where is this welfare money being spent? People that really need assistance should get it, I am pretty sure that no family of 3 is getting 61,830 in welfare programs so where is the money ? Talk about a waste!
