In 2011 the level of public spending on the welfare state by the British Government accounted for £113.1 billion, or 16% of government. By 2020 welfare spending will rise to 1/3rd of all spending making it the largest expense followed by housing benefit, council tax benefit, benefits to the unemployed, and benefits to people with low incomes.

Get rid of all welfare programs. Replace with socialized healthcare and UBI. Citizens have a choice between one or the other.

Emphasize health coverage benefits. There should not be tens of millions of uninsured American citizens under any circumstances.

More, although ideally welfare should be eliminated and replaced by a UBI of some sort to eliminate negative incentives (welfare) and replace them with positive incentives.
@dandyman4yrs4Y
Fewer, and progressively provide aid according to need to ensure a smooth transition off of welfare

The government should only subsidize individuals who are unable to work.
@8KRN6JB4yrs4Y
I don't think restrictions should be made. However, there should be a time cap put on the program. The program should be used to get back on your feet, not to live off of for the rest of your life.
@93DHP4B3yrs3Y
More, and eliminate illegally resident aliens from benefits.
