What's Included in "Welfare?"

From Daniela, the following question:
I am trying to figure out what exactly do you include in your "welfare" section. Would you mind elaborating as to what is included in this section?
The simple answer is: Go to usgovernmentspending.com and turn on codes. It's one of the settings in the Units dropdown. Or click here.
When you select codes you can see the description of each code by hovering the mouse over the code.
But here are the codes used in the Welfare section, with their descriptions alongside so you don't have to go click here.  The numeric codes, e.g. "603", are federal;  the codes starting with a letter, e.g. "E77", are state and local.

Code Description
603Unemployment compensation
604Housing assistance
605Food and nutrition assistance
609Other income security

  4. You call unemployment benefits which are directly paid for by unemployment taxes WELFARE!? You destroy this site as a good reference with your warped agenda.

    1. with the U.S. not being able to sell movies unless it has sex and/or violence in them,

      it is no wonder that 900 women and children are killed each year by the man in the house,
      mine was going to kill me
      but i got on welfare and moved away
      and hid in march 1975
      by august 1975 he had killed someone else,
      thank God we had welfare back then,

      my parents, their4 parents and their 7 siblings paid taxes to help.,

      those who are criminals don't need welfare
      , and those in jail get housing and food,

      we were a country made up of mostly farmers,

      now we live in concentration apartments
      where we can't have garden,
      chickens, goats, ducks,
      or a horse that made this nation strong and healthy,

      we need to maintain and sustain those who would rather be poor than to steal,

      and teach people independence

  6. You have critics: http://kugelmass.wordpress.com/2012/08/04/wait-a-second-thats-not-the-federal-budget/

    Is it true that 609 "other income security" is the earned Earned Income tax Credit?
