With the recent tax plan controversy, lots of people or discussing whether it is more effective to lower taxes or increase welfare programs to provide a "leg up" to people in need. What do you think?

I believe it depends on which taxes are lowered and which welfare programs are increased. In interests of fiscal sustainability, if welfare programs are increased, taxes would need to be raised.
