Study: 44% of social security users say "No, I have not used a gov. social program."

[a completely inoffensive name]

I am starting to think that the problem might not be with the extremists in America blocking compromises...our citizens just don't live in reality.

To be honest, I don't what a 529 or Coverdell is so I can't say if the 64.3% of respondents who claimed they have not used government social programs are idiots or not.

However, 43.1% of pell grant and 53.3% of student loan users say they don't use government social programs? Seriously? I knew people my age are stupid, but come on.

The chart is on page 7 for those who don't want to read the entire article.

EDIT: Also, biggest LOL for 25% of food stamp users saying they have not used a government social program. I have to laugh, otherwise I would cry.

EDIT 2: OH GOD SOMEONE HOLD ME
