What started in this era was the "Welfare State" and now 43% of the American public is on the dole.....I don't mean the entitlements like Soc/Sec and unemployment which you pay into every paycheck.

Corporations receive more in "welfare" than individual citizens. The "welfare state" that everyone complains about exists only in corporate circles.

"Obama phones" are not funded by taxes, they are funded by an additional fee you pay to your phone company, and it started, in earnest, in 1996. Section 8 has been around for over 70 years, LIHEAP, for low incomes assistance with heat and lighting has been around since 1980, and there is no federal source, outside of TANF, for "living expenses", and it does not even begin to cover all those expenses.
The total cost of everything you listed, and many more government programs that fall under the concept of "Social Safety net" are but a fraction of the cost of welfare given to the corporations through tax credits, rebates, and over-inflated government contracts.
