That giving the money to poor people was a suggestion relative to `give it to construction companies as a subsidy'---which is really, really stupid.

Depending on your political leanings, you might be happier with just lower taxes.

(And yes, the welfare-trap is probably real. Make sure to watch out for effective marginal tax rates of poor people especially.)
