Explanation:

Welfare programs involves transfer payments. These payments are made by the government in order to assist the marginalized sectors or people who are in need so they can thrive economically. In this case, the government just provides and doesn't receive anything in return.

If the government expenditures would increase, the transfer benefits would increase too. So this would most likely lead to "poverty" because the government will just be spending money without any returns.
