I tend to agree with Xell101. Social programs should be administered primarily at the local level, then the federal government could pick up the slack. It would be best if people could first look to family, friends, local government, before holding out their hands to the "highly effecient" federal welfare program.
As for corporate welfare, basic economic principles apply; as with all protectionist policies the result is lower standard of living for the country as a whole.
