      They don’t but they have poor people who can’t buy food, like most countries. Wonders of trickle-down capitalism, I guess. There’s a program that allows these people to buy groceries called “food stamps”.

      I’m not sure why this is downvoted. Someone posted a pie chart further down that actually shows the breakdown. Social programs are indeed a majority of the budget.
