Abolishing the already-tattered welfare state would be a disaster, and a solution in search of a problem. And subsidiarity ignores the concept of Monetary Sovereignty, namely that a government entity (such as our federal government) that issues it's own currency (and by definition has infinite money) is better suited to funding social welfare that an entity that cannot issue it's own currency (you and me, households, local and state governments, the Euro nations, etc.).

who says that the welfare state should be abolished? Not me for sure.
Ditto for monetary sovereignty. Why do you think that subsidiarity excludes it?
Indeed, I didn't think you implied that at all. I was referring to other people who try to make such fatuous arguments that I have seen elsewhere.
