Uhhh.....charts? 2012? 2015?

Can you give us a hint? OR is this a game show?
"I'll take Economics for $200, Nat."
"I'd like to buy a vowel."
"Door #3."

I'm sure it's some sort of veiled racist message telling us that the black and brown people are milking the system disregarding the fact that the greatest majority of welfare recipients in the country are children, elderly and the disabled.

One factor is inflation. $1 in 1964 is equal to $8.15 in 2019. A $100M would be $815M.

The change from two parent households to single parent households is something that is happening around the world in every industrialized country.
Kinda hard to pin that on "The Great Society".

Entitlements (especially those that arrive at age 65), would be expected to rise as the largest demographic group in the country hits age 65.

Yes, any opposition to the DNC platform is a racist conspiracy hatched by Putin.

Thanks for that.
