Default 104.7 million people get a check from the government every month

From the following two programs alone.



Social Security: http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/quick...stat_snapshot/



Food Stamps: http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm



This is all off the backs of 153.4 million workers (Half of whom don't pay income taxes): http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.a.htm
