I finished John Perkins' Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, as well as some lighter reading, on the way to and from London a few weeks ago. To be quite honest, once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. If you haven't read it, I definitely recommend it.
I appreciate social programs as long as they're social and voluntary. But I oppose all government "benefits", because I recognize that all the "benefits" a government provides to its citizens are really incomes extorted from one half of the citizens, in order to ameliorate the other half of the citizens.
