A Trillion for Welfare

As the US government toys with the idea of becoming a socialist state, in 2011 the Feds spent $1.03B on various welfare programs. Welfare costs have gone up 32% under the Obama regime. I'm not surprised. Almost half of the country doesn't work. People have to live somewhere and eat something.

I'm barely working and making a barely middle class salary, but I still pay about $4000 in federal income taxes. Four years ago I earned a third more and paid $8000 in federal income taxes. That will never happen again in my life.

I'll never be able to support this welfare state ever again. Where is the money going to come from?
