No more welfare checks

[Chunkster]

What Rene Siracusa says is true as far as it goes, but Social Security is NOT the same at EBT, Section 8, WIC, and direct financial welfare payments. Those types of welfare spending are heavily subsidized by the Feds in the form of grants to the states. Depending on what sort of sovereignty, if any, is attained, that second group of benefits could easily be lost. The US government is not required to pay those to residents of foreign countries, which is what Hawaii would become if the most radical sovereignty advocates get their way.

This is all probably moot, however, since the sovereignty folks don't appear to be even close to agreeing on a plan that has a chance of working.
