T-Party Hypocracy:

T-Party members are found of demanding less government in everyone's life, but in Chisago County, Minnesota, whose voters gave Rick Santorum 57 percent of the vote, every man in the recent primary, every man, woman and child received $6,583 in some form of federal benefit in 2009.

While in 1979, 54 percent of benefits went to the bottom fifth, in 2007 only 36 percent reached that group.

As New York Times  reporters Binyamin Appelbaum and Robert Gebeloff point out,

In 2000, federal and state governments spent about 37 cents on the safety net from every dollar they collected in revenue, according to a New York Times analysis. A decade later, after one Medicare expansion, two recessions and three rounds of tax cuts, spending on the safety net consumed nearly 66 cents of every dollar of revenue.
