I think we certainly do, the programs are outdated, we must reform them. However part of the problem is the constant cycle of reduction in spending and tax cuts. It's the consistent rape of the system that continues to weaken it.

Welfare has a dramatic impact on peoples lives when properly used, people depend on Social Security to live in their old age. It's important to protect those people. It's important that we are responsible in the execution and funding of these social programs. Its not about big government, its about a small government that works for the people and not the elite.
