It's always strange to me

[Wyrd of Gawd]

It is a form of socialism, because the government is subsidizing these things. The problem is that we've somehow demonized socialism. at least, socialism for the poor. The rich get subsidies like nobody's business. They've demonized propping up the poor, because they know they have to get revenue from somewhere to run the country. And they refuse to take from the right, in fact they prop up the rich with more money, so they have to try to justify not helping people who actually need money and help.

Some Americans hate socialism because black people might benefit from the programs. It's a racial thing.
