In the US according to Breitbart.com

Almost 48 million people received food stamps in 2011, an increase from the 28.2 million who received the welfare benefit in 2008. The cost to taxpayers has more than doubled during this period, to $78 billion, and will account for 78% of Farm Bill spending over the next ten years.

A parasitical relationship can only last for as long as the host can provide.

In fact, the Welfare State is merely a method for transforming the market economy step by step into socialism.
