Actually the article is talking about income. The current HN title is wrong. According to the linked article:

"Close to $2 of every $10 that went into Americans’ wallets last year were payments like jobless benefits, food stamps, Social Security and disability, according to an analysis by Moody’s Analytics."

I do wonder what the figure would be for actual assets. Surely much lower than 20%, but I guess that would be hard to even calculate.

I tried to use: Close to $2 of every $10 that went into Americans’ wallets last year were payments like jobless benefits, food stamps, Social Security and disability

But it was still way too long, so I had edit the title down to fit it in.

I don't know, maybe "20% of 2010 U.S. income came from..."?

I don't have editing powers, though.
