country, the role of government
has grown by leaps and bounds
in the last few years.
To a large extent it is at-
tributed to the recession, which
had led to a great outpouring
of public funds in an effort to
turn the economy around and
assist those who are most seri-
ously affected by It.
In Hardin County, it is esti-
mated, based upon an updating
of the latest statewide figures,
about 29 cents out of each dol-
Rho Upsilon Meets
erage is 29 cents.
The findings are based upon
reports from the Department of
Commerce, the Tax Foundation
and others. „
During the past year, the
figures show, some $345 billion
was disbursed to individuals ip
the United States by the vari-
ous levels of government.
Nearly half of it was for pen-
sions, social security, food
stamps, health insurance bene-
fits and such, technically called
“transfer payments,” for which
no services were being render-
ed.
