i'm not missing the sarcasm, but universal programs are considerably superior to programs directly targeting idiosyncratic segments of society (race X, gender Y, income Z), both in terms of efficiency (you don't need nearly as much bureaucracy to implement a universal program) to political resiliency (see, e.g., social security).

All I know is that as being considered "low income" (due to very early retirement, LOL), I got an extra $50K from the Road Home, so I kinds like these programs.
