> The reason the US can afford the strong social programs is because of its heavy commitment to capitalism.

The US does not have strong social programs. It's an example of the opposite. Look at Canada and Europe for examples of strong social programs.



Some social programs are wildly overpowered, others are shells of their intention.

It’s a wide spectrum, very distributed.

Despite wanting to, you really cannot form an opinion on US social programs as a whole without misinforming someone gravely.
