“It is without dispute among libertarians, or at least it should be, that Medicaid and food stamps are both unconstitutional and illegitimate welfare programs that are immorally sustained by taxes taken from Americans by coercion and threat of violence. … It is not a legitimate purpose of government at any level to fund or operate welfare programs; fight poverty; supplement or subsidize anyone’s wages; help the poor, the disabled, the sick, or the aged; or maintain a safety net. … Because Medicaid and food stamps are illegitimate programs that should not exist, anything done by government at the federal or state level to reduce the number of people eligible for welfare, reduce the number of people on welfare, reduce the amount of welfare benefits, or reduce the time that someone can receive welfare benefits is a good thing that should be welcomed by libertarians.” (08/18/25)
