If we want to spend more on social programs all we have to do is collect more money (taxes) or use debt. When Congress is making spending decisions they typically don't say if we spend money on X we can not spend money on Y. They spend money on both. The truth is that most Americans don't want to spend more on "social programs", perhaps that is what we agree on.
