Comment on What Would Happen If We Just Gave People Money?

Comments

A great idea, however I doubt in practice it would work as well as everyone thinks.

What may work for a school leaver may not work for a guy with a family of 6/debts/drug or alcohol problems/medical needs/etc. that person may be much better off with housing benefits/family benefits/medicare etc than an equal slice of the pie.

Anyway I dont know but I am in favour of doing the experiment and hope it works, but I seriously doubt it will be as cut and dried as people think.
