Many people generally needed the extra income for special foods for their health that were otherwise unaffordable to them. If the govt is trying to reduce poverty as they claim, this is not the way to go about it. Also, their prediction that the costs of the program will increase to 700 million is totally without merit. There is no good reason to predict it will go up that much.
