The Definition of futility

Spending more per household on pointless "anti poverty" efforts than average household income.  Eventually you realize that all of this 'compassion' is just a front for rent seeking.  Rent seeking that is piling up unpayable debts on the backs of our children.  Ever see a dog covered in ticks? - they are emaciated and near death.  Our nation's ticks are proliferating at an astounding rate.  Hattip instapundit.

IN THE MAIL: From Kevin Williamson, The Dependency Agenda. “Each year, the United States spends $65,000 per poor family to ‘fight poverty’ – in a country in which the average family income is just under $50,000. Meanwhile, most of that money goes to middle-class and upper-middle-class families, and the current U.S. poverty rate is higher than it was before the government began spending trillions of dollars on anti-poverty programs.”
