WASHINGTON — Government anti-poverty programs that have grown to meet the needs of recession victims now serve a record one in six Americans and are continuing to expand.
More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid, which is the federal-state program aimed principally at the poor. This according to a survey of state data by USA TODAY.   That’s up at about 17% since the recession began in December 2007.
