No. Means tests only exclude those who need it. The fact that some people will get money who didn't truly need it doesn't harm anyone, and it's far better for some people to get a benefit they don't need than for people who need it to be excluded. And besides, means testing costs money to execute, and often raises the cost above what it would be if they simply didn't means test.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoPlease don't start posts with "No." I find it undermines constructive discussion and attempts to find common understanding. It is not hard to show a 2020 tax filing and demonstrate income, or lack theof, and should be a reasonable request before giving someone 10s of thousands of taxpayer dollars. What do you think would be an appropriate level of scrutiny? Should anyone be able to apply with no fact checking whatsoever?
