Take Singapore, they almost does not have welfare, almost everybody works, because they do not encourage being on welfare. And their country does more than great. I am not saying US should cut it at all, but at least stop increasing it...
Here is something you are forgetting

According to this in 1954 25% of Singapore's population lived in slums. The government decided to do something about it so they stepped in and built 44,000 homes and let the people live in them. That is some serious welfare. . . but it worked.
