Why does the US still have Food Stamps ?
A few thoughts:
1) Remember when we eliminated welfare programs under Clinton.
2) Then the Critters starting using the tax code for welfare. Then they used the tax code to administer Obamacare. ever think about why?
3) When USSR went bankrupt they had only ONE welfare program and that was a small pension.
We never got rid of welfare under Clinton. We just started calling it "disability" and made sure every real and imagined ailment under the sun was covered.
