I don’t think you can completely get rid of welfare and some government medical care. The obvious problem is weeding out those that really need it from the lazy assholes. How about actually investigating those who are receiving assistance. Not just filling out a form to see if you qualify. Treat it the same as insurance fraud. I want to see fines and/or criminal penalties. Pay people to do in-depth investigations. If someone is getting substantial income under the table, not actually disabled, etc., and receiving assistance, then automatic fine or imprisonment. If imprisonment doesn’t sound good, then they can do work for the government until their fine is paid off. .
