"Welfare programs have out grown our ability to pay for them, theres some very tough choices and discussions we have to have, unfortunately much of it will effect the poor, but if it doesn't get addressed now we'll just spend money on it utill the US government can't borrow anymore by then it'll be too late for sensible cuts."

Define what you mean by welfare. Are you including social security and medicare? Programs people have paid into? Unemployment, another program paid into by employers.
Be specific. What do you for the sake of this discussion, call welfare?
