What programs for the people do Republicans support?

Do they support food stamps? Or Medicaid? Or Medicare? Or Social Security? Or minimum wage? Or Obamacare? Or a strong infrastructure? Or the US Postal Service? Or anything?

Can you name something besides defense spending that they support? And that is not really for the people? It's really for the few defense contractors?

I cannot understand how so many people are deceived by this bunch of "con artists"?
