Reliance on Uncle Sam hits a record
By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY
Americans depended more on government assistance in 2010 than at any other time in the nation’s history, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data
finds. The trend shows few signs of easing, even though the economic recovery is nearly 2 years old.
A record 18.3% of the nation’s total personal income was a payment from the government for Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits and other programs in 2010. Wages accounted for the lowest share of income — 51.0% — since the government began keeping track in 1929.
