I'm just curious where people think the money should come from?
It's not like poor and lower income people save a lot of money so if we cut programs or raise taxes on them it will come straight out of the GDP making the cuts pointless.
I would also think anything that "forced" them to "get a job" would push them into low paying service jobs which would increase labor supply without increasing demand much only lowering prices again causing GDP to go down.
not sure if I'm thinking about this correctly?
