I'd like to make food stamps automatic for everyone. It makes pretty good sense to me. Everyone who has a driver's license or is enrolled in school or is registered to vote gets food stamps. The most hateful southern baptists in my family who are still screaming about Obama's death panels can still agree that donating to food banks is a good idea. I can understand people who say "I don't want to pay higher taxes to support other people." I think that's a shitty philosophy, but I can understand where they're coming from. But if we make food stamps universal, then those people get the benefit they're paying taxes for and some of them will stop complaining. It ensure a basic level of public health and removes the stigma from receiving and using food stamps.
After we take care of that and instill the idea in everyone's mind that automating the basic necessities is good for everyone, we can work on housing, healthcare, and higher education.
