Ya this is why I'm coming around to the universal minimum income idea. If we're going to have a welfare state, let's do it without all the hoops and bullshite. No more programs with snazzy names like the Louisiana Purchase card. Instead of 15 programs providing $20k in benefits employing multiple levels of government workers, just hand out the cash per month and call it a fricking day.

Also do you think they would still eliminate the programs that will still be needed by the extremely poor and unfortunate? Say you have a kid that is physically handicap or whatever and needs speech theropy and all the Jazz. You think just handing that person a $10k check will alliveate the cost? Or will there need to be additional govt subs for these folks on top of it?
Yeah it's not possible. Once the program is in place good luck eliminating it completely. Just look at what the Pubs are facing trying to repeal the ACA right now. No way they can completely eliminate it without commenting political suicide
