RADIO TIDBITS

Today on Bill Bennett's radio show, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation was a guest and claimed that $950 billion a year is being spent on the poor by the Federal government and that this spending is a greater threat to the budget than Social Security or Medicare.   Rector doesn't break down the 950 but it's hard to believe that number when the entire DHHS 2010 budget for TANF is only $17 billion.
