You missed my point. I was explaining that even good and reasonable social assistance programs can be abused. You knee jerk reactioned and insulted me because i used an example of military programs (since its the only social program i know about directly).

No I didn't.

Incentives for military service is a quid pro quo. There is a valid, reasonable, Constitutionally-proscribed federal function associated with these incentives. To agree with you to a point, the DOD is rife with fraud, waste and abuse. They should pay a private company obscene amounts of money just to root all of that out.
But, I digress. There is literally no Federal function supportable by a reasonable interpretation of the plain language of the Constitution to buy (anyone, able-bodied or not) folks' groceries, pay their electric bill/rent, provide them free phone, free public transportation, etc.
So, any of that that is abused is already a double crime. Not comparable at all, IMHO.

I absolutely did not insult you in any way.
(ETA: Oh shite, I did say, "frick you, aight?" as I entered the thread. Is that an insult? Who knows in 2017, right?
