Because of class warfare, plain and simple.
According to the owner class a single mother getting food stamps is a drain on the economy whereas corporate welfare is considered 'a sound investment in our nation's future.
Easy: the latter has a lobby, the former doesn't.
Next question
Why is the general public so vulnerable to disinformation when it's so easy to look things up?
Why look something up when you already know the answer? So long as you make the average person confident enough in their own ability to discern the truth - which isn't hard, given most people's desire to feel smart - you can get them to accept an enormous amount of misinformation at face value.

Mainly because people in general aren't into looking things up, and in the modern era of the Web of Lies it's not always obvious to everyone what is factual information.
Humans are NOT inherently rational creatures, we have to LEARN and PRACTICE how to be rational and curb our instincts in order for it to be effective. This takes discipline and self-examination.
FEW people live a self-examined life, vanishingly few.
Most people are rather content to go on believing what they've always believed and what their families raise them to believe, and are very unpleasant when what they believe is exposed as bullshit.
