We're spending just $615 per person on social welfare while our peers are at $1040—that's 41% below where they stand. We're barely scraping by at this level when we should be matching the rest of the world with at least $1000 per person, not leaving families to fend for themselves with pennies compared to what's normal elsewhere.
