How do benefit adjustments for government transfer programs compare with their participants' inflation experiences?

Fiscal policy in New York and New Jersey: 1977-97

Between 1977 and 1997, real government spending in New York and New Jersey rose more than 40 percent, led by sharply higher outlays for public welfare and education.
