From the New York Times this week: a story about the "safety net" and a related set of coropleth maps showing the distribution by county of government benefits.
It's no surprise, but it might surprise many nevertheless, that the states that harbor tea partiers and conservatives who are most critical of government programs are, at the same time, among the largest recipients of the government benefits they so loudly decry. This is no secret- but you won't hear about it from the likes of Rush Limbough (who wan't too proud to go on the government dole before he became rich and infamous).

I tune into Rush Limbough here and there;no matter what he says,whether he is making a good point or not, he seems to enjoy the sound of his voice more than I do.
