And it's an interesting thing to consider anyway.
I've heard that, if you took all the US money that goes to various programs, and simply gave it to everyone under the poverty line, to the point where they reached the poverty line, it would be cheaper than how things work now. I don't know how true that is, or if it includes social security to seniors (where, mostly, people above the poverty line are paid).
But I bet it is true, because for one thing, doesn't every program have administrative costs. Local offices and whatnot. Some attach to the legal system and then there are *shudder* lawyers making it more expensive. If there were some way to just cut gordian's knot with all that shit it would be great.
