I'm guessing most red states would shut if off entirely, or nearly so.

@OggggO: The facts don't support your assertion. Before the feds "took over" welfare most states had their own welfare system. The only change that came about when the feds took over was they skimmed off about half and wasted it, leaving less for the needy.
