Personally I'd much prefer the elimination of TANF (which, face it, was pretty well killed in 97 anyway), Food Stamps, WIC, Stafford Loans, Unemployment, Social Security, etc, etc, etc... pretty much any targeted public assistance.
In it's place, guaranteed income between 20K and 30K w/o a work requirement. This lets the "invisible hand" do its thing, removes huge layers of government bureaucracy to administer social programs, and provides a decent standard of living for all citizens. Nobody makes a moral judgement of who deserves help and who doesn't, and everyone, whether they're Warren Buffet or an unemployed autoworker in Warren, MI, get's their 20-30k check.
Plus, Globalization and automation are rendering increasingly advanced jobs obsolete - for example, if you are a young software engineer reading this (I am, and what, 80% of us are?) and you don't think AI is going to be able to replace 90% of us before we reach traditional retirement age... you aren't paying attention. We already live in a world where getting a job is difficult, and I think tech and social advancement is going to make it worse and worse. You can't require people to have a job to survive when the economy can't provide enough jobs to employ everyone - I see this as the solution.
