From a welfare viewpoint - the % of working-age dependent on a benefit - this is what the two extremes look like:
There is a 2 percentage-point variation between the two polar points.
Is 10 percent of the working age population dependent on a benefit now as good as it gets?
Here is some context for you to digest.
There was a decades-long period post 1938 (when Social Security was created) when the norm was consistently around 2 percent of the working age population dependent on taxpayers.
Now we are expected to celebrate 10 percent.

I think that if you are not getting money from the gov't you are in a minority as so many sectors of society from the poor to the rich are getting gov't handouts . It seems that people are afflicted with entitlelitus.Sooner or later the money is going to run out, what then.? wide spread civil disobedience.?
