However, by cutting ‘excessive’ programs (by whose judgement?) you take a large segment of people who were dependent on government benefits and turning them into people BEHOLDEN TO the government.

Beholden: owing thanks or having a duty to someone in return for help or a service | being under obligation for a favor or gift : INDEBTED
