I'm not sure on the whole EBT thing really, I think $500 is enough for anyone to easily live off including food.

I'm totally down with making sure kids get food, but I think the $500 a month would be more then enough to ensure every US citizen would not starve, and could even eat fairly healthy, even if they where homeless.

Honestly it would be enough for someone to easily rent a room in a cheap place to live, and still eat 3 meals a day AND have some money left over.

$1000 though, unless we actually hit a point where most menial jobs are automated, would be too much. You can live comfortably on that, and there are too many people who would just do exactly that.

Still need incentive to work, especially for gamers.

Give gamers the option of living in a tiny room with a TV and games, and eating really cheap food, but playing games 24/7 and nothing else (other then hanging with friends etc), or working to live in a better place, and my experience is a very very large number of them will live in that tiny room.
