In 2023, Minnesota spent nearly $46,000 on welfare per person in poverty
Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. This is the country’s only source for state and local spending data, allowing a detailed state-by-state comparison. The survey also divides spending data into categories, making it possible to analyze which public services states prioritize.
Overall, public welfare is the largest expenditure for most states. However, the level at which states prioritize assistance programs over other public services, such as roads and police, differs.
Minnesota, for instance, has a massive welfare system, dedicating a larger share of its revenue to assistance programs than most states. Additionally, Minnesota ranks among the top states for poverty-adjusted welfare spending, making it one of the most generous in the nation. In 2022, Minnesota spent approximately $42,000 (in 2023 $) per person on poverty, ranking second-highest in the entire country.
This trend continued in 2023, as newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals.
A 2023 Update Including federal funds, in 2023, Minnesota spent nearly $46,000 on public welfare per person in poverty, ranking second-highest after Massachusetts. Meanwhile, both the median state and the national average were 55 percent of Minnesota’s level.

Exclusive: Bombshell Footage Claims Judges Can Be Bought With Bribes in Ohio Immigration Courts
Town Hall ^
Posted on 1/21/2026, 6:34:06 AM by TigerClaws
In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process.
At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants' favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers.
In the 26-minute video, the undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder's friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers.

Call me crazy but isn't it weird that so many illegals are driving around vehicles in this country. I wonder how that works to acquire a vehicle when in this country illegally.
