That would seem to assume we're not already funding (1) already for everyone who isn't too mentally ill to participate in existing more expensive to administrate programs. A classic example would be something like working poor on food stamps. We've decided as a nation to provide corporate welfare by allowing corporations to under pay employees and taxpayers will pick up the tab by providing food stamps to the employees. A lot of pointless administrative money is spent to make sure yes indeed they work at Walmart and Walmart doesn't pay a living wage. An interesting side effect is many jobs are going to have massive wage deflation down to minimum wage. Sort of a communist system where everyone gets the same pay.
