Do you have information that disputes what I shared, old though it may be Maureen?
If so, I'd be happy to see it. I'll guarantee that things have only gotten worse under the expansion of dependency of the Obama Administration. And, FYI, Maureen, the Heritage Foundation got those statistics from the US Department of Labor. If you had bothered to check my citation, you would have known it came from the US Government. Here's some more info. This is from the 2013 Index of Dependence on Government created by the Heritage Foundation. If you have preferred source that refutes this analysis, bring it on. "69.4 percent of federal spending now goes to dependence-creating programs, up dramatically from 21.2 percent in 1962 and 48.5 percent in 1990." Read the entire report and find your own facts and bring them forward if you can refute these findings. http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/11/the-2013-index-of-dependence-on-government On 9/9/2014 7:22 PM, Maureen wrote: > Those numbers are from more than 15 years ago, and massive reform has > happened since then.
