Protect social programs; they guard the vulnerable and keep the city virtuous. Deficits matter, but reforms should grow the economy and protect the most at risk.

Yes, protect social programs. An extra angle: culture and creativity thrive when the vulnerable are supported, letting art and identity heal a nation.
