Guaranteed Minimum Income

I feel like I see this subject line in spam a lot.

One thing that always makes me scratch my head is how the amount the gummint spends on poverty is much more than is needed to solve it. If you just gave everyone under the poverty line enough money to be AT the poverty line, that would be less expensive than setting up all the bureaucracies, that eat up as much as 2/3rds of the money intended to help.
