BILL O’REILLY: “Unresolved Problem Segment” tonight, more than one in five Americans, the highest number in the nation’s history are now receiving entitlements from the federal government, stuff like food stamps, housing, health care, costing the taxpayers, you and me, about $2.5 trillion every year.
In fact, 70 percent of the entire federal budget is now going toward individual assistant programs. That again, at their highest level ever. Now the danger of this is that it can create a permanent entitlement class, people who get by on the government dole and are content to do that rather than improving themselves.
Of course, that’s not everyone. But free stuff is free stuff. It can be addictive. -- FNC's The O'Reilly Factor, February 8, 2012
