Gp is talking about the costs of administrating the programs, your numbers are the total costs.

Even though that's not the admin costs in question, those numbers are drastically far off from the actual welfare system costs. In 2012, the US Govt. spent $80 billion just on the SNAP (food stamps) program alone. A total of over $100 billion went to welfare food programs.
