So no food stamps, welfare, section 8, etc., everyone gets a debit card and that's it.

If you blow it all on booze and cigarettes and starve, then that's your problem.

I'm intrigued. This could be coupled with the Fair Tax.

I'm concerned about exacerbating illegal immigration and politicians creating add ons that reward irresponsibility (booze and cigarette example).

I would buy stock in cheap tobacco and alcohol products. And Buick/Cadillac. And Nike.
