You don't need programs to help people with food and housing and money when people just have enough food and housing and money to live by default. Wouldn't a bunch of govt programs just disappear?
Or maybe that's being overly optimistic?

The way I look at it is those existing programs aren’t exactly perfect by any stretch of the imagination so I wouldn’t expect for a new one being implemented to be all that great. No guarantees that it would in any way eliminate the need for helping people with things like food and housing either.
