    Just a reminder, we spend more preventing welfare fraud than we save by preventing fraud. We could just give cash away on the honor system to everyone who asks for it, and we would save money.

      We could also house the homeless for less than it would cost to punish them for being homeless.

      We could feed the world on what we throw away in the US.
