On an Island .... In the Pacific
It is necessary to define the term "Bums" in what follows in order to know what I am talking about.
"Bums" are the people who are Intentionally make themselves a burden on our society. Examples are professional homeless people, druggies who spend all their earnings on drugs or alcohols, cheaters, people who cant keep a job because of laziness or misbehavior at work, single-unemployed-baby-producing men and women, .... and the likes. You get the picture.
These people are causing inappropriately large, compared to their numbers in the society, amount of deviation in our thinking when it comes to what are the appropriate policies which serve our society best. Whether it is welfare, healthcare, minimum wage, social security, or any other social program that is intended to make our society fair and provide a level playing field for all; these Bums provide the opponents of such policies with a perfect excuse. It is a perfect excuse because it is true. and it drains the programs from valuable resources and they make it difficult, very difficult, for legitimate beneficiaries to actually get help from these programs.
I don’t know how many "Bums" we have in the USA. However, i don’t think their number exceeds that of the people who are incarcerated in our prisons which is around 2%. That is about 6 million people. (i recently read that somewhere, so don’t ask for a link and if the number is wrong i don’t believe it would be much greater). I don’t believe our society is producing more Bums than criminals (is it? that would be terrible 
)
Ok now assuming we have 6 million Bums.(if it is more, please adjust the accommodations to fit the actual number ... ok?)
Since these people are causing havoc to any discussion about social policies let's take all of them and put them on an Island, big enough to accommodate their number and about 50% more for their reproduction or future mates from the 50 states. That would be around 10 million current and future bums. Why in the Pacific? i dont know, may be to keep them away from me
If we allocate about $ 10 K for each Bum we currently need about $60 Billion to start this project. The US Gov to provide the Island itself. I am sure the guys in the navy can find one somewhere in the pacific with good land and water supply. The Navy can do everything, don’t worry they will find one.
We will transfer all the Bums free of charge, the Navy can do that too. and tell each Bum, this is a one way ticket to your promised land. We have $ 10K account for you. The Nave will give you a Tent, a sleeping bag, and one month supply of food. and you can withdraw $1 K from your account upon arrival. any further withdrawals are subject to the legitimacy of the purpose. Once you withdraw all of your $10K we are done with you. no more. you are on your own.
The US Gov will transfer one hundred of each type of Bums and order them to form an administrative authority to administer the Island. This should happen within one month of the arrival of those Pioneer-Bums. After that, the Gov will just continue the transfer with no administrative duties. Just land them and go to get the next shipment.
Each year the Gov. will take application from Bums who would like to be back in the Bum-free society of ours. each applicant to provide proof of how they are no longer Bums and how would they fit back in the Bum-free society.
That is it folks. Proposals for providing this Island and its Bums with better chances for success will be greatly appreciated.
Now can we start talking about programs which make our society better and more productive assuming we have no Bums among us?
