Not so fast sparky.
The 'big evil government' saved 2 of the 3 U.S. automakers, and bailed out Wall Street. This does not even get into the farmers, and oil subsidies. The gross defense budget, which is really just propping up defense contractors, and alike.
If you're going to talk about government hand outs, and entitlements, it need to include the corporate welfare that has been going on. I do not think there is a total that adds up the bail outs + annual corporate welfare + defense in a nice easy pie graph compared to social programs.
My point is, there is way too much government "hand outs" across the board. Both social and corporate.
