Good in theory because people would have more control of their money and government bureaucracy would be reduced.
Bad in reality because the kind hearts in the progressive left wouldn't be able to restrain themselves from continuing to give help. So after a poor person got their $865 and wasted it on hookers and blow they'd be clamoring for welfare as before since "we can't let him go without when so many others have so much" and you'd end up right where you were before. Unless and until you're willing to allow real consequences (like people dying because of their bad choices) then this system is unworkable.
One really needs to back these up with data rather than just regurgitate the same theory about "how other people will act based on what I assume to be their desires." It's getting rather cumbersome to see this same idea parroted out again and again as a worthwhile argument to be made.
First:
--Why is it that you think the goal of such programs is simply to give out free money without consequences, without an intended goal for the recipient, and without any desire to control the distribution of further free money?
Further
--Why do you assume that people just want free money and will simply continue to ask for more and do nothing with it? You seem to have self-respect and a desire to produce and be useful--why is it that you are this special snowflake and such qualities do not extend to the rest of humanity? is it simply because they are in a position to be taking government assistance? Is there some sort of switch in all human brains that is flipped when free money is obtained? "Oh! time to be lazy. woo hoo!"
IME, I have never seen any data that actually supports the notion that this happens to any significant measure in society--that social programs are a comparable drain on government spending as are other big budget expenses.
Also, if this program were established as a simple monthly check with essentially no administrative resources beyond the structure to print and mail out checks....how would recipients even begin to make a claim or request for more money in such a program? It sounds like that problem wouldn't even exist and is explicitly why this program is being proposed under this model. There isn't even an office, much less a window to line up at.
