Back in the 60s, a more enlightened time in some ways, there was a proposal in congress to institute a guaranteed annual income for welfare recipients. It never got a vote. Nixon was president. The democrats shot it down because they said it wasn't enough money. Such a proposal today could go a long way to alleviate a lot of needless suffering.

Uh, hello, welfare payments ARE what is classified as "income security". That IS a guaranteed income.
