I’m not sure what programs you are talking about that were done away with. There are a lot of programs that could be cut now.

For example, let’s cut giving teenagers free housing, furniture, medical care, food, cars, cell phones and gas cards. Oh yes, let’s cut AAA, car insurance, free calls to Mexico and food stamps.

AFDC was the biggest and it was eliminated (thereby ending the practice of a woman getting cash for every child they had), along with most direct payment programs.

Section 8 and food stamps are a drop in the bucket compared to Socialist Security and Medicare. There is no "free car program', despite urban legends to the contrary.
