Nearly Half of U.S. Lives in Household Receiving Government Benefit

Families were more dependent on government programs than ever last year.

Nearly half, 48.5%, of the population lived in a household that received some type of government benefit in the first quarter of 2010, according to Census data. Those numbers have risen since the middle of the recession when 44.4% lived households receiving benefits in the third quarter of 2008.

The share of people relying on government benefits has reached a historic high, in large part from the deep recession and meager recovery, but also because of the expansion of government programs over the years. (See a timeline on the history of government benefits programs here.)

Means-tested programs, designed to help the needy, accounted for the largest share of recipients last year. Some 34.2% of Americans lived in a household that received benefits such as food stamps, subsidized housing, cash welfare or Medicaid (the federal-state health care program for the poor).

Another 14.5% lived in homes where someone was on Medicare (the health care program for the elderly). Nearly 16% lived in households receiving Social Security.

48.5 percent ? I guess that makes me one of the rich cats; I didn’t get any gov. help. Does this also mean I’ll have to pay an additional 5% surtax ? I took a loss last year, I know I’ll be in the red this year too. This economy is a joke, we’re going down the hole, and inflation’s at the front door. The winter’s coming on, and the heating season is starting up. I can’t work any harder and catch-up any faster; yup, the bottom’s coming up !
Hi all,

I wanted to share a couple of things with you that you will probably find interesting. Hopefully this time this website will allow my comment to be posted, as I have literally posted this info other days on every article to no avail. You should read this Cease and Desist letter that someone sent to our last president, as it outlines our rights and powers that we actually still have. It is on this site:
constitutionalconcepts DOT org/truthaffidavit.htm

I understand that many people have successfully put up the full web address in the past to different sites, but I want to get this message through the Prison Planet website moderator, whom usually does not allow my comments to be posted.

Here is another well done video series that outlines how we allow our rights to be manipulated. It is called “Slavery by Consent” on Youtube

My only goal is to spread knowledge to those who have chosen to wake up at some point in their lives.

A little further down the rabbit hole is another very well done video called “Esoteric Agenda” located on Youtube watch?v=FJiCU6Jw0Co

Yet the rabbit hole goes even deeper…

I am going to copy and paste this info on other articles, not for the purpose of spamming, but to reach the people who may have already read this article without seeing this message.

Knowledge is power, and we as a whole and individually in our General Partnership called We the People, are the ones in power, not the other illusion that has been placed before us.

Happy reading/watching/learning!
