Provided by who? Where does the money come from?

To who? Anyone who wants it? Anyone proven incapable of working? Anyone unemployed for X amount of time?

How much? Median income in the US? Restrictions on what you can purchase?

Should it be enough to barely subsist in an effort to encourage recipients to earn their own income or enough for a family of 4 to go to disneyland every now and then and have the luxuries of life (TV, AC, Cable, fast food etc.. etc..)
