This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The US has a similar breakdown by % as this Australian one, except that what's called "welfare" in Australia is called "entitlements" in the US and makes up about 50% of the budget. Welfare in terms of the dole aka money given to "work shy bambots" makes up only about half of one percent.
