  Completely agree, that we need an economy where people can survive financially.
  However, The government has no source money, other than taxes.  If the government starts handing out all of this "free money", exactly who is paying for it?
  We still are.
  So, the government takes all of this money off of the people in the form of taxes, then wants to study a way to give it back to them and call it a benefit?
  How about stop taking all of our money and wasting it?
  How about the organizations that suck the very financial life out of people stop bombarding us with abusive fees?  Banks come to mind. Bounce a $2 payment and the fee is $35. Yet the bank is offering a APR (Annual Percentage Rate) on their bank account of a disgusting and profoundly insulting 0.85 % interest. We should be teaching ways for people to keep more of their money instead of having it taken from them.
