Be specific. What do you for the sake of this discussion, call welfare?

Social Security for retirees is not a welfare program. Many of the disability based Social Security benefits are welfare programs.
26 weeks of Unemployment is not a welfare program, anything beyond the 26 weeks of insurance is a welfare program.
Medicare <insurance for the retired correct?> Is borderline a welfare program due to what you've put in isn't any where near the benefits it pays.
Medicaid<for the poor> Is a welfare program.
Section 8
Food Stamps, ect.
I never said I wanted to eliminate any of the programs, but if we don't re-vamp, them now it's just going to be worse later on.
