Raise your hand if you have never benefitted from a subsidy or welfare, American person.
Are you kidding? The big-govt fanatics have been cranking away for nearly eighty years. You can no more exist in this country without tripping over a govt handout, than you can without inhaling air pollution.
Why not ask:
Raise your hand if you would have been better off overall with govt never handing out any subsidies or welfare... and never charging you for them as a taxpayer.
And for extra credit, you can add:
...except for govt spending specifically authorized in the Constitution.
You are still the one who pays. They say you owe the government $100, but if you have a mortgage, you have to pay only $95. Well, YOU are still the one who finances the real welfare for others.

I agree. The problem is the SCoUS has ruled almost any spending done by the govt. is somehow constitutional.
Raise it, folks. . You've never gotten any use of a dime from the USA government. You've never had any sort of welfare.
I can't. Had free lunch as a kid and also ate government cheese sandwiches when I was a kid.
Not to mention food or fuel subsidies.
I was a foster kid from 15 to 18-1/2 years old due to severe abuse in my home, so I cannot make the claim that I never benefited from a government program.
