Welfare Payments


Only in America could you land on welfare while recording $125 billion in profits since 2002.

But House Majority Leader Tom DeLay found a way to include $1.5 billion in government help for the energy industry -- specifically, a consortium in his home district.

The 30-page amendment even got into the energy bill after the time for turning in amendments closed. It's part of a total $14.5 billion in government help going to the energy industry as part of the bill. (Reuters)
