Maybe we can have a bipartisan solution:
Move the minimum wage to $20/hr (or $40K/yr) and encourage marriage.  Then a couple will earn $80k.  So there will be no need for medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance or general welfare, instead everyone gets a job.  Simple.
Here is an even better solution:  Abolish the minimum wage, or set it back to $3.35 an hour.  Then let people work 2 or 3 jobs until they can have the experience and skills to live on 1 job.  Can't raise a family on $3.35 an hour?  Then wait to have a family.
And food stamps should be a temporary thing.  Some people have this idea that the rest of the world owes them a living.  A bunch of lazy deadbeats!  

Yes, rich people are wankers.

Because then taxpayers are effectively subsidising businesses's skimpiness irt their workers via benefits. And if you just start cutting benefits wholesale ... well, I think the term "Dickensian" might cover it.
