The United States spends nearly a trillion dollars every single year on anti-poverty programs.
$668 billion spent by 126 federal anti-poverty programs.
$284 billion spent by state welfare programs.
$952 BILLION TOTAL SPENT PER YEAR
That’s $87,000 per family of four in poverty. And yet 47 million remain in poverty.
