| The number of Americans receiving financial aid from the government has soared since the financial crisis, and this fact is frequently used as evidence of American failure. The Drudge Report highlights today that 'one in six' Americans are now receiving government aid, which is truly a shocking statistic. Programs such as Medicaid are already overwhelmed, and new health laws haven't even taken effect yet: USA Today: "Virtually every Medicaid director in the country would say that their current enrollment is the highest on record," says Vernon Smith of Health Management Associates, which surveys states for Kaiser Family Foundation.

8,000 Utah families may lose food aid

| A proposed change to Utah’s food stamp rules could mean nearly 8,000 households with undocumented members get less financial aid for food — or none at all. Families qualify for food stamps based in part on how much income they make. In a household that has both undocumented members and citizens — such as parents with a child born in the U.S. — Utah officials have not been fully counting the earnings of undocumented workers. |

| Sometimes, government programs, subsidies and entitlements need no embellishment. In 2008, TracFone Wireless of Miami began distributing free cell phones to people who get food stamps, welfare or other government assistance. Recipients of the free cell phones are allowed to earn up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level, or no more than $33,075 a year for a family of four. The phones provide 68 free minutes a month and, in the words of The Philadelphia Inquirer, "they're paid for, in part, by charges on phone bills that the federal government allows carriers to levy."

Kagan: Speech is free if government decides it has more value than 'societal costs'

| Freedom of speech, religion and other First Amendment issues are likely to be among the most visible during the coming Senate confirmation hearings on President Obama's nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court. As an illustration why, consider this quote dug up by the First Amendment Center's David L. Hudson, who found it in a government brief signed by Kagan in United States v Stevens: “Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs.” |
