Currently, there are a lot of social safety nets out there that are little used, or simply poorly promoted, so the money goes unused year after year.
But that is a discussion for another thread, lest we derail this one.
Take a wild guess which party is looking to kill that idea you like.?

I think it will be a necessity with AI and automation becoming more prevalent.
