Interesting idea

Comment comment by Kevin1 on 10 October 2006

So your program is to completely eliminate all forms of transfer payments and substitute them with a one time relocation subsidy?

What would that subsidy include?

I think the barrier here would be to eliminating the system of transfer payments, although I am all for it in principle.

I don't know enough about the current structure of welfare to say concretely that there wouldn't be any payments left, but I agree with you that would be ideal.

The relocation subsidy wouldn't include much other than money to rent a moving truck and get it to the new location, perhaps. The hosting community would take care of the rest (e.g., a home loan, a first job, friendship, etc.).
