Among the 108,592,000 people who fit the Census Bureau’s description of a means-tested benefit recipient in the fourth quarter of 2011 were 82,457,000 people in households receiving Medicaid

Medicaid, the biggest number in the group. And Obamacare just EXPANDED it dramatically. And added subsidies outside the Medicaid program on top of it.

When the people who received non-means-tested government benefits from programs such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and non-means-tested veterans compensation are added to those who received means-tested government programs such as food stamps, Supplemental Security Income and public housing, the total number of people receiving government benefits from one or more programs in the United States in 2011 climbs to 151,014,000

I'm seriously hoping they made a miscalculation here. Because this is dire.

There now officially more people in the wagon than pulling the wagon.
