The primary source is a welfare bureaucrat, Gary Alexander, Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Public Welfare, not a libertarian blog: https://youtu.be/Ruzo8bm96Io?t=2191

A conservative "welfare bureaucrat" who was brought in to gut the welfare system

This fact alone doesn't mean much. He was appointed by a Republican governor and could very easily be a liberterian ideologue to the same degree of said blog.

So you actual critique over the chart provided and the claims made therein, rather than your ad hominem?

I don't care who it was. Are the claims verifiable, and are the derived claims defensible?

No, that's not my critique at all. If you go back and read the comment I was replying to and then my reply, you'll understand why I said what I said.

Thanks for the correction. I know nothing of that person.

You mean former Secretary of Public Welfare, who resigned after two years on the job in 2013. He now runs an anti-welfare consulting business. He was highly controversial during the two years he was in the job, and the Obama administration had to step in. He also claimed he was moving to Pennsylvania, and then used public funds to commute to his Rhode Island home instead.
