GENERATION WELFARE: Over 50% of America’s Youth Living in Households on GOV ASSISTANCE
A stunning new report from CNS News Thursday shows the staggering extent to which America’s youngest generation is accustomed to government assistance, with new data showing over 50% of people under 18 living in a household receiving tax-payer funded aid.
According to data released by the Census Bureau, there are approximately 73.5 million people under the age of 18 in the United States and 38.4 million of them reside in a household where at least one person “benefits from a means-tested government program.”
That equates to 52.1% of all children in the United States.
“These included the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), Medicaid, public housing, Supplemental Security Income, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the National School Lunch Program,” writes CNS.
The study also finds the group least likely to receive means-tested aid are those 75 years of age or older, at just 18.8%.
