1.  Medicare and Social Security aren't welfare.

2.  yes, we have spent a lot of money on welfare, way too much.

3.  I'm not sure just where you're getting your figures, as you didn't provide a link.

4.  If you add up the cost of enforcement, the cost of jail time, and the cost of the forgotten war in Colombia, it would be quite a sum.


I can't say for sure that the war on drugs is more costly, but I'm willing to bet it is, if you add up all of the hidden costs, then only count as welfare what is actually welfare.
