So when did social Darwinism become this country's philosophy?

Buried in the news today was that senators were called back to D.C. to hack down on social 'entitlement' programs. Excuse me? Those are social programs, thank you: medicine for old people; meal programs for babies; housing and education. Since when do we support multiple money-sucking war-zones on the bodies of those least able to afford it?

I'm really bugged by this

You missed the memo. In one of his famous signing statements (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-brooks6jan06,0,4320038.column?coll=la-news-comment-opinions), Bush relabeled what you're describing as "God's will" and redefined "social darwinism" as "a party where those forsaken evolutionists and activist judges go to celebrate hurting God."
