I've seen some proposals of eliminating welfare as we know it, and turning it into 'Universal basic income'. The idea being this could be more of an upwards mobility program that allows people in the system to move, save, invest, etc. Currently, if you are on welfare you can't move to where the jobs are, most simply can't afford it. I'm probably not articulating it as well as the person I heard giving the argument, but at least in theory/principal, the proposed idea had me sold. Of course for it to work, all other forms of welfare will have to be eliminated.
