I have been to the far east and to central and south america. You are certainly right about the status of people in the US.
In Illinois you can get up to 53,000 dollars a year if you apply for it. Free. No need for a Social Security number. I have seen the web page published by Illinois.
I commute on my bicycle when the weather is decent. Welfare families pass my wife and I in their SUV's.
