Before you go into meltdown, think just how difficult it really is to change these types of programs that care for the sick and elderly. Social Security and related programs are used as hot button issues by both parties to work people into a tizzy so they'll vote for them. I remember back in the mid 90s hearing Rush Limbaugh talk about how the goal was to scare senior citizens into believing if so-and-so got elected they'd be eating cat food they'd be so poor. Unless the country goes bankrupt which is more likely than you think, there's no way to get rid of social programs completely.

Republicans are very cold hearted thinking that if people just got off their butts, they'd be rich. Democrats assume that people aren't capable of providing for themselves so they encourage people to become dependent on the system to control them. From what I've seen and heard of Trump and his policies, his goal will be to take the waste out of the system. I saw on some articles on Facebook that one state is planning on drug testing welfare recipients. How true that is I don't know, but I would support that. I also saw another article saying that Trump is going to force them to work for their welfare check. Again, how reliable anything on Facebook is is questionable.
