Growing Government Dependency
The Heritage Foundation has recently published a report on the growing dependency of the American public upon government. “The 2005 Index of Dependency” lays out in startling detail just how dependent we have become over the last 40 years. With a few lapses here and there, there has been mostly steady growth in overall dependency on government. This in-depth report has a number of charts that illustrates the nature of the growth in dependency. The chart on Social Security illuminates the nature of the coming crisis in this area. A must read for anyone interested in the ramifications of public policy decisions.
