Episode 9 of the We the Voters podcast asks and answers big questions about public support in the United States. Host Emily Cate Topczewski walks through the history of public support programs, such as welfare and social security, and its role in US society today. 

Then, Emily Cate looks at the issue from two sides: (A) public support programs should be reduced because they are taken advantage of and overused and (B) public support programs should be given more investment because they provide necessary support for vulnerable members in US society.
