We have plenty of social programs. We spend more money on welfare and health care than we do on the military. The issue is that the programs are very unorganized and inefficient.

The real problem is Republicans declare a social program dead then defund it, neuter it, disparage its beneficiaries until it actually is broken and ineffective. Then, they say, "see, we told you."

This is absolutely incorrect. The only way to support your claim is to include things like Medicare and Social Security, which are very efficient programs, and in the case of Medicare it would be even more efficient if it were universalized.

No. We spend more money on social security than we do on the military or healthcare/welfare.
