Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Democrats generally agree with the idea of ensuring that welfare benefits go to those who need them most. They support policies that target assistance to low-income individuals and families, such as expanding Medicaid and food stamp eligibility. However, they may not agree with the implication that the current system does not already do this to some extent.

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

While Democrats generally support the idea of welfare benefits supplementing a working income, they may not agree with the implication that the current system replaces a working income. Democrats have supported policies like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which supplements the income of low-wage workers, but they also advocate for broader social safety nets and support systems.

More, current benefits should be capped
