A great idea in theory but once there’s a distinction it opens an opportunity for politicians to endlessly fight over who gets it.

You also get the instinct to “parent” the poor and limit what they can buy.

Giving it to everyone isn’t the best idea but it’s the best way to keep politicians out of the kitchen.

(And I say this as someone who’s against the idea. But I do think the “universal” is the best idea within a bad idea.)
