This sounds like a nightmare and to me it wouldn't feel like I'm free at all...being so dependent on the government seems like a terrible idea...Who would want to be so reliant on the government for such basic needs?

I propose it as completely optional. You basically can choose to depend on the government at a very young age, or have a career for more material wealth.

That's why I suggest working towards shortening loan payments, so someone can have a career and get similar benefits.
