Why do so many people think that cutting social safety nets is a cheat code?
With the exception of certain pension benefits there isn't much money flowing into these programs to begin with.

Its so stupid.
There are loads of people not participating in the economy because they do t have money, just give them money to spend.
The multiplier effect means it pays for itself.
Doesn't apply to the super rich where the money is just hoarded.
This is an ignorant and totally misinformed take on how the economy functions. Giving people money will not create a sustainable economy

The people who don't (currently) need them see them as a waste.
If the state only paid for defense and the justice system, there would be very little reason to tax!
Just a fully militarised state, a la starship troupers.
