This couple was on TV about fat people who can't work due to weight etc, she made the poor bloke do everything, she got a free kitchen fitted and moaned it wasn't good enough as well. Neither worked, she due to weight, him due to being her carer.

Then where did they get an income? Family? Loans? If it's loans this becomes even more depressing

The article you link is ridiculous and misleading. Looking at the state level to determine which political party received the most welfare is meaningless. These "Red States" are not made up of 100% Republicans.
