That doesn't include social security, retard. I referenced MEANS-TESTED programs. Do you know what that means.
It's clear you don't know the difference between Contributory programs (Social Security, Medicare) and Non-Contributory programs (the 13 where someone doesn't contribute to the pot from which they draw).
Retard, here is number of people receiving means-tested programs:
52 million - 21.3% of US Participates in Government Assistance Programs Each Month
The only way to make into 100 million is to throw in social security, which is where you I thought you were getting your number from...but nope, I stand corrected, you were just using bullshit number.
This says otherwise and it references HHS numbers:
www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/hhs-report-percentage-american-welfare-hits-recorded-high
108 million freeloader using non-contributory program. That means they get but don't put in.
Another 43 million receiving contributory programs. That means they had to put in in order to get out.
Even with your number, and it's not true, that mean 1 in every 4 people in this country is a freeloader. You don't seem to care.
Can't get the link to work.
It's www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/hhs-report-percentage-americans-welfare-hits-recorded-high
Thanks . Couple things .
The stat only goes back to 1993. And the basis can be a little misleading . For example , SSI . If you have a disabled kid he can be getting SSI . The whole household now counts as "receiving welfare ". That's a bit misleading . Same as if you had a family taking care of some elderly relative .
Now if you want to talk about the issue if SSI being overdone . I'm with you .
