If implemented, it will surely be a disaster in America (DOA - Dead on Arrival), considering how well African Americans have worked and abused the Food Stamps system.
Let me tell you a story. I was getting my beat up Honda Civic in SOMA last month, when a black dude rolled up in a Mercedes-Benz and paid cash to the owner for some work done earlier. After he left, I told the Mechanic "Wow, High roller huh?". To which the mechanic laughed. "Well. He lives in Bayshore (Bayshore is like Ghetto / Projects) in a nice 3-BR apt, pays only 300$ rent, and has 4 kids, because the more kids you have and are un-employed, the more hand-outs the govt gives in terms of food stamps and stuff, and the less they charge for rent." He said it gets even better for "single moms", so women who are single moms deliberately choose to not marry their new dude, despite being with him for several years, since they'll lose the "benefits" from the government.
In short, American are inherently lazy and will "work the system" any which way they can. I see the people getting high on weed with free $ from the Goverment and not doing anything to become gainfully employed again.
