Is there a WEBSITE with GOVERNMENT info which TRACKS this?
What is being done to reduce healthy PEOPLE's dependancy on welfare and subsidation? What programs exist to empower people to GET OUT on their OWN??

The numbers for what is conventionally thought as welfare (means tested) are Cash benefits 1.9 million households, Medicaid 53 million recipients, and 25 million people get food stamps. Also 22 million American families with children are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
If you include other programs that subsidize people such as social security, medicare, home mortgage guarantees, unemployment insurance, student loans, etc. as well as corporate welfare then it is almost everybody.
