The way I wish things would have been handled is make this more voluntary versus compulsory through all taxpayers.
For example, it would be good if the state setup a general slush fund to help unemployed people who are legal residence and another one for those that are illegal.
For every dollar you contribute to this slush fund, you get
$0.60 worth of state tax credit up to a ceiling. That way, people who are financially able to can participate, get some sort of benefit from it as an encouragement, and those that can’t can opt out.
I’m kinda indifferent to all this government spending since nothing surprises me. No biggie.
