No, 10%? of Americans would have a new reason why not to work.

As a stipend, I could see its abuse in employers paying their workers substandard wages so the workers would qualify for government support payments.

Even if the economics would make sense -- if a person gets $22,000/yr from the taxpayers they should sweep the sidewalks or pick up trash on the highway if they are physically able to work -- no free ride ...

If their gross income is over $22,000 (single person) why give them money for nothing? Maybe, some free education or something beneficial to society.
