I like some of the arguments being made here. I would just have a few questions:
If the program involves no strings attached grants, and it is meant to replace existing welfare systems, what happens to people who blow their money on nonessentials? Is there a secondary net for them, or are they allowed to starve? What about bad parents who take the cash without providing for their children?
I understand that these questions are just as valid with our current system, but is there a way to address them within this new framework?
