People shouldn't depend on government services.
detach from social anything, go to community meetings, plan for your community not the federal government.
This is an insane and naive take you know. Federal programs or subsidized entities have been necessary for America for a long time. I don't want to live in some individualist hellscape, personally. I'd rather have my tax dollars go to those in need than live in a society where those who have those needs are not met make the world around them feel the consequences for that.
The problem isn't federal aid or subsidization it's corruption. It always has been. You can argue there's too much bureaucracy.
Also what you are suggesting is every community should be a commune? Let's consider those implications.
