Please tell me this is not a term bandied about in the US.

The term is still whispered in the dimly lit, smoky rooms of Republican get-togethers.

It was big time, but not so much anymore. You still hear it from the dinosaurs in office.

How the left sees welfare: corps pay too little so people need to be subsidized by the government to afford food, or you fell on bad times/have mental disorders and can't work so we help you afford the bare minimum.

How the right sees welfare: black women are getting knocked up constantly so they can collect even more money doing absolutely nothing but being a drain on society.

Pretty gross stuff...

The US will never be cured of the extreme capitalist model that impoverishes the poor and increases the wealth of the rich when they accept these terms. They are designed to do nothing more than segregate the population into manageable lumps. People need to jump on derogatory terms that are only meant to belittle people who cannot defend themselves. The racism in the US is nothing more than a political agenda to do exactly the same thing. You really have to call this out when you see it.
