I'm really sorry there are people who are in need of TEMPORARY help. And that they should get. But to create a gigantic new "entitelment" to solve a transitory problem is NOT the answer. If you feel so bad about your out-of-work neighbors, then go buy them health insurance until they get back on their feet. Pay their bills. Sounds to me you have done well for yourself, so certainly you should be able to spread YOUR wealth around? I am sure that they will be insentivized to go out and get a job after that and you won't have to foot their bills for long.
