We are a really rich society, but how we care for our poor could possibly bankrupt us.
We can spend our riches better. We need a safety net, but it shouldn't be comfortable.
So instead of private apartments, welfare recipients could avail themselves of the New Community Shelter (NCS). Free public housing would be public... not private.
In the NCS, one has access to free shared "youth hostel" style shelter. In addition, free scrubs and free rations are available. Adults capable of working will be paid five dollars per hour for twenty to forty hours per week.
The net effect of the guarantee: an industrious individual could retire debt or save up to $800 / month.
An industrious person could climb out of the safety net and have a private life.
