Congresswoman on Gov't Handouts: 'I Mean Women Use These Resources a Lot More Than Men Do' | CNSNews.com: (CNSNews.com) - Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) told a women’s empowerment conference in Washington on Wednesday that women need government programs more than men do.
“The relentless and unrelenting effort to minimize women’s needs, whether it’s fair health-care needs, reproductive needs, whether it’s things like Pell grants or Stafford loans, college scholarships--I mean women use these resources a lot more than men do,” she said.
“Food stamps--adult women use food stamps to a greater degree than do men, two-thirds of adult food stamp users are women,” Moore added. “Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid -- depending on how old women are, they use anywhere from two-thirds to 85 percent of these programs.”
