Of course it is. Remember that clause that says "provide for the general welfare". Plus the fact that money spent on care and food for the elderly and impoverished goes right back into the economy. The war of poverty has been one of the more successful government programs in terms of raising the standard of living and education in the US.
Even if all the government does is work with business to raise the standard of living and income, it matters. Much more so than providing weapons and aid to foreign governments that ends up in the hands of those who become our enemies. I say again: priorities. Tax dollars should not only be spent on the rich.
