reported the following disturbing statistic:
109,631,000
Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally
funded "means-tested programs" -- also known as welfare -- as of the
fourth quarter of 2012, according to data released Tuesday by the Census
Bureau.
The Census Bureau has not yet reported how many were on welfare
in 2013 or the first two quarters of 2014.
But the 109,631,000 living in households taking federal welfare
benefits as of the end of 2012, according to the Census Bureau, equaled 35.4
percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time.
That
doesn’t count the “non-means-tested programs” or in other words entitlement
programs.
