I could be wrong but it seems to me that that would lead to a whole new level of bureaucracy, when the unemployment websites can’t even keep up now. Better to get that money into peoples hands as fast as possible. We don’t want to have to judge deserves it and who doesn’t. It’s not like the money we don’t send, to the people we decide don’t need it, would go to some other worthy cause.
