Oh, I think there'd be total carnage in the US if way over $1tn of 'entitlement' or 'pacification' programs were cut.
The military maintains the international pre-eminence, the pacification programs are the bare minimum to keep the domestic populace in line.
Not just the poorest, either... Generally the middle classes of every nation are the largest nibbler on governmental knockers(breasts). Direct and indirect.
