At CGN Network, we’re done sugarcoating it: the welfare state’s a bloated, broken dinosaur that’s gotta go. It’s high time America ditches this relic of handouts and builds a system where everyone pitches in—not one where hardworking taxpayers foot the bill for freeloaders. Under Trump’s America First reign, we’re seeing the blueprint—cut the fat, reward the grinders, and let workers keep what they earn. Here’s why the death of the welfare state is a win for every patriot who’s sick of bankrolling a system that screws the little guy who actually clocks in.
Workers Aren’t ATMs
Let’s get real—why should the guy busting his hump 50 hours a week at a factory or driving a rig cross-country be expected to bankroll someone who won’t lift a finger? In 2023, the U.S. shelled out $1.2 trillion on welfare—Medicaid, food stamps, housing—per the Cato Institute, with 40% of that hitting folks who could work but don’t. That’s your tax dollars—$4,000 per worker, straight from your paycheck—propping up a machine that rewards sitting on the couch. X posts nail it: “I’m not working overtime so some dude can binge Netflix on my dime.”
Trump’s crew gets it—Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon purge slashed waste, and Elon Musk’s DOGE is hacking away at federal bloat. Welfare’s next. Why? Because workers aren’t cash cows—40% of Americans say taxes eat too much of their income, per Gallup 2024. The average Joe’s hauling the load while the system pats freeloaders on the back. Enough’s enough—everyone’s got to pitch in.
Everyone Pulls Their Weight
Killing the welfare state doesn’t mean chaos—it means fairness. Picture this: instead of endless handouts, every able-bodied adult chips in—community projects, job training, or straight-up work. In 2022, Switzerland’s welfare-to-work model cut dependency by 15%—folks earn their keep, not beg for it. Here, states like Texas are testing it—work requirements for Medicaid slashed rolls by 10% last year, per The Wall Street Journal. No one’s starving; they’re stepping up.
X lights up with the vibe: “If you can work, you should—simple as that.” It’s not cruel—it’s American. Trump’s infrastructure push—$1 trillion slated for roads and bridges—needs hands, not handouts. Lockheed Martin’s hiring, Boeing’s booming—there’s work out there. The welfare state’s a crutch keeping people down; shred it, and watch grit take over.
Bankrolling’s a Bust
The numbers don’t lie—workers are getting hosed. In 2020, 63 million got welfare, but only 48% of prime-age non-workers had jobs, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That gap? It’s you picking up the tab—$25,000 per welfare household annually, while median earners scrape by on $68,000. RTÉ in Ireland drowns Liberty Media with €725 million in state cash—here, welfare drowns you with red ink. X rages: “Why am I funding laziness when I can barely pay my rent?”
Trump’s slashing—$200 billion in budget cuts proposed for 2025, targeting welfare sprawl. It’s the Oscars crowd preaching charity in $10 million gowns while LA burns—hypocrisy on stilts. Workers shouldn’t bankroll that, or this. Musk’s DOGE axed 15,000 federal jobs last month—welfare’s bloat is next. Every dollar saved stays in your pocket, not some bureaucrat’s pet project.
The Freedom Fix
Ditch the welfare state, and you’re not just saving cash—you’re unleashing liberty. No more nanny state telling you who deserves your sweat—communities step up, neighbors help neighbors, like the old days. In 2024, private charity hit $484 billion, per Giving USA—Americans don’t need D.C. playing Robin Hood. Trump’s tax cuts juiced take-home pay—killing welfare juiced it more. Everyone pitches in, and the worker’s not the mule anymore.
The Call
This is Trump’s America—tough, fair, built by doers. The welfare state’s a leech—workers deserve better than to bleed for it. CGN’s all in: end the handouts, make everyone pull weight, and let the grinders keep their cash. X sums it up: “No more free rides—work or walk.” It’s time to bury this beast and build something real—because in the land of the free, no one should be forced to bankroll the lazy. Let’s roll.
