In theory I'm for it. But the problem is if it was actually implemented in the US - the US could be far worse of. Congresspeople and the president (whoever that is) would join together in a bipartisan manner and gleefully cut or privatize any number of social programs as they baldly lie and says "These programs aren't needed anymore!" Similar stuff would happen on the state level too.
