Amidst Denials That We’re Entering a Socialist State – Report: Welfare government’s single largest budget item in FY 2011 at approx. $1.03 trillion
The total federal spending on federal welfare programs vastly outpaced fiscal year 2011 spending on such federal expenditures as non-war defense ($540 billion), Social Security ($725 billion), Medicare ($480 billion), and departments such as Justice ($30.5 billion), Transportation ($77.3 billion) and Education ($65.486 billion) — a fact that alarmed the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who requested the report from CRS.

$1,000,000,000,000 / 100,000,000 taxpayers = $10,000 per tax payer.
Now y’all quit wasting time on the internets and get back to work! There are millions of Obama voters that depend on you! Oh, and Michelle needs another vacation…you’ll need to work the weekend too!
