The Welfare State Because many of these households include more than one person, the number of individual households is smaller, but still a record – roughly 33.5 million, more than a quarter of the country’s households. Worse, 10.5 million households receive benefits from three or more separate programs. While liberals would undoubtedly like to blame this on the bad economy, the welfare rolls have actually grown by nearly 4 million households since the end of the recession. Welfare is rising even as unemployment declines.

Ben Carsonâs claim that âwe have 10 times more people on welfareâ since the 1960s Carson’s claim that the number of people on “welfare” has grown tenfold is not supported by the numbers. There has certainly been an increase, at a rate that exceeds population growth. But it appears to be closer to three or four times rather than 10 times. Carson’s claim that the United States has “thrown money” at the problem and yet more people are in poverty is also problematic. The official poverty rate does not account for the effect of many of the programs that Carson counts as welfare.

White People Make Up 42% of the Poor, But Take in Whopping 69% of Government Benefits Another finding of the study is that the distribution of benefits no longer aligns with the demography of poverty. African-Americans, who make up 22 percent of the poor, receive 14 percent of government benefits, close to their 12 percent population share. White non-Hispanics, who make up 42 percent of the poor, receive 69 percent of government benefits – again, much closer to their 64 percent population share. Read that again. It says blacks comprise 22 percent of the poor, but blacks only take in 14 percent of government benefits. Conversely, whites make up 42 percent of the poor, but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits. If Republicans cut these programs, as part of the sequester or any other backdoor maneuver, their issue will be with their own base, not blacks.
