That is a good idea. However there are some in our society that consider welfare and living off the taxpayers a  career choice.  As soon as the word gets out that the government will take care of everything, there will be longer line ups to get the free room and board.

How about ending homelessness by weeding these people out of the system and taking care of the seniors and mentally ill. The drop outs and drug addicts will simply have to get a job.
