If you look on the wikipedia page for each, there is a section called enrollment that mentions the hard numbers.

Did you look up how many people are employed in America?

Best numbers I find are 150 Million are thereabouts

and looking at your numbers:

quote:


1) 47 million Americans are on food stamps. Many are not freeloaders.

2) 62 million on medicaid. Many are not freeloaders

3) 2.1 million households get rental and utility paid for through section 8.

That would mean 109.1 were receiving benefits - Many who are not freeloaders. So using these numbers

150M provide 109.1M some type of help with food, medical and housing.

So I don't hear government retirees, military retirees or Social Security recipients as part of this group who are getting help (being supported).
