Idiocracy By the Numbers: New Data Show Many Americans Have No Idea They Receive Government Benefits
this aggressive stupidity politically props up the arguments of the anti-government right. With so many Americans evidently not knowing they receive benefits from the government, it's easy for opportunistic politicians to seize on our "me-first, screw everybody else" culture and misleadingly deride the government as some distant en y that exclusively benefits the "other." And if you don't know that, in fact, you are "the other," then you are more likely to conclude that that opportunistic politician is correct, and more likely to cheer on that opportunistic politician as he/she slashes the programs you directly rely on.

The same idiocracy that says everybody else's Congressmen sucks, but its Congressmen are OK.
The same idiocracy that thinks Fox Repug Propaganda network is facts and news.

Yes, If I live to draw any social security income I won’t view it as a “government benefit” either. The “crisis”, as the author puts it, is that people like him honestly believe there is such a thing as a “government benefit”.
