President Trump, after winning the 2024 election, has proposed major reductions to social welfare programs, arguing that cutting welfare spending would encourage self-reliance and reduce government dependence. He believes that too much taxpayer money is being spent on people who don’t contribute to the economy, and that the funds could be better utilized elsewhere, such as for national defense or infrastructure. Critics of this stance argue that such cuts would disproportionately harm vulnerable populations, leading to increased poverty and social instability. Should Trump move forward with these cuts, or should welfare funding remain as is to ensure support for those in need?
Yes
He should.
No
He shouldn’t.
