Every state is different. The numbers I've known people to recieve is about 700 a month for a family of four. But that was a few years ago.
I am astounded at the numbers you gave for Ireland. There are subsidy programs in the US in which your rent depends on your income. I was in subsidised housing in Maine for 2 years, and it was 30 percent of my income, minus a flat amount per dependent. I believe that amount was 80 dollars, but it was a long time ago and I'm not sure.

Wow! I had been on welfare at one time, and I didn't get nearly that with three kids! And I had to pay my rent out of what I got!

- The welfare system in Ireland is really really good! Women would have one child get $210, if you have $420 etc etc. And thats per week. Rent gets paid AND in winter your fuel

- Geez! Is there a big battle over there about the design of the system? The US really got into it in the late 90's and changed a bunch of stuff. Most Americans are pretty bitter about their taxes going to welfare.

- I wouldn't be so upset about it if more people were like me. I was going to school while I was on it, and I was getting a divorce from a real loser. I only stayed on as long as I needed to and found a job. The big problem here is that people want to live off of it and be lazy instead finding a job. I've known women who were going to get cut off who had another baby just to keep getting it!
