I think your idea means well but might not be in touch with the rampant abuse of subsidies given to those who qualify to receive them. Google (or similar) "ebt card abuse" and it's shameless and appalling. I'd conjecture that the aversion to the idea of being able to "lift up those" so needy is itself just skepticism at the ability to do so, given the rampant fraud. That's totally a sad conjecture to make, I must say.
