This is a PDF file discussing The size and scope of Means-Tested Welfare Spending (http://www.budget.house.gov/hearings/rectorzstmnt.pdf). It takes a while to load.
The pertinent chart is on page 7. It graphically demonstrates why it is becoming harder for the taxpayers to control government. The conjecture of course is that increased welfare spending buys votes for socialist polititicians and disempowers normal voters. You will notice the chart roughly approximates a parabolic curve.
(You will notice, Oleg, that this is unrelated to other topics we shall not discuss.) :p
