This is essentially welfare Yes, and? The point is that we're already providing welfare, just often in a convoluted, inefficient, and counterproductive manner.

This is essentially welfare Yes, and? The point is that we're already providing welfare, just often in a convoluted, inefficient, and counterproductive manner. The unfortunate fact is that some people can't provide for themselves. We can either ignore them, establish fifty government agencies to "help" them, or give them money. Option 1 isn't on the table, and 3 makes a lot more sense than 2.
