[Ron Force]

Below are a few facts — and charts — to consider. Mitt Romney is correct that about half of all Americans now live in a household that receives some sort of federal government benefit. And that number has risen during the Obama years. On the other hand, a large chunk of this money goes toward the elderly and disabled. And most entitlement benefits flow to the middle class—which, judging by polls, tends to split evenly between Obama and Romney.
