If we can't expect people to be employed such that they can support themselves, then we'll need to look into alternatives like this.
When you say "wealth transfer", from whom to whom? In this case you could argue the transfer is from the federal government to individual constituents, I don't think you can follow the dollars further then that. IMHO, it'd be refreshing to see a "wealth transfer" the benefited that bulk of the population, rather than an elite few (i.e. banking bailout during the housing crisis).
