Index of Dependency
The annual Index of Dependency, published by the Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis, attempts to measure government expansion in America and the degree of reliance on social support programs. Though established in 2002, the index has been cited in other studies and reports analyzing government intervention, and its data has been used by policy analysts in forecasting trends and assessing how they might affect the politics of the federal budget.
