Koan,
Helping people does not make them dependent.
If true, then the budgets of SS and Medicare wouldn't be growing in both absolute dollars and percentage of the federal budget. Instead, they would remain a fixed percentage of the budget, which would have been determined a generation or two after their creations.

The reality is that they do indeed create more dependents, and that's by design.
