I just heard on the radio that according to census data, 49% of American's live in households that receive some kind of government benefit.Hell, as has been trumpeted many times over the past few months, there is no one who doesn't benefit somehow from a government program, if only because they drive on public highways and went to public schools. We can't cast the net that wide (although it does make some of the more extreme libertarians and tea partyists who claim they've never taken a cent from the government look a little silly), not and have it be meaningful.
It's a pretty big assumption to view all those people as Obama supporters though. And a seriously depressing one from Romney's perspective...
