Honestly, yes, but two things. 1) Even if you feel this way, you're not going to say no to money in your pocket, and nobody here is so well off that they wouldn't find a use for it. 2) It's literally cheaper for the government to not means test this stuff and just give it to everybody. Same concept as UBI as an alternative to welfare. Ideally, yes, the poor and those who need it most would get the vast majority of the benefit here. But realistically, not gonna happen. 2) is definitely not true unless the cutoff is absurdly high. Were taking about hundreds of billions of dollars here; theres not that much overhead. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:950168016] in Politics C...
