Welfare Spending Over $1T - Biggest 2011 Line Item

I started this blog in July on the heels of Obama's "You didn't build that!" speech.  At the time, I was most alarmed at the growing welfare culture and welfare fraud in our society.  Most recently, I've been distracted with a whole new concern about the Benghazi Attack cover-up.  However, a recent report that the U.S. welfare spending topped $1 trillion in 2011 got my attention.  According to this article, welfare spending, which is up about 32% since 2008 now tops non-war military expenditure, Medicare, and Social Security!  Welfare is now the biggest, and maybe fastest growing, government program.  Obama's got to go.
