Worst idea ever.

That's your opinion.

But the science disproves your opinion.

Worst comment ever.

Why is it so hard to grasp that most people don't want to be homeless or out of s work and hang around all day? Why do we bail out banks and governments in order to bootstrap them but not people!?

Have you heard of the Weimar Republic? A little reading into history and economics would do you a lot of good. Giving people free stuff has never worked in the history of the world. It would be much better if the government stopped regulating wages so homeless people with low skills could actually get a job and develop skills that are employable.

After all, for the gov to give money to homeless people they have to forcibly take it from someone else. If they simply print the money then you're just indirectly stealing from everyone else through inflation. Not to mention, once people catch on that you don't have to work then no one will.

Actually, this is kind of what is happening today with social welfare programs all around the world. Things are progressively going to shit (pun intended) instead of continuing the growth the western world (especially the USA) experienced through the 18th and early 19th century.

Anyways, no matter what you say, there is simply no logical or historical case for what you propose.

Also, F* the banks. They should not have been bailed out. That's simply politicians doing favors and stuffing their own pockets.
