The finance from the initial post seems wonky.

What about if we asked front line workers what would be effective?

Well ... they'd lose a lot of jobs with a basic income program. But I expect they do know that current income support programs are not really sufficient to give people 'a leg up'. Housing costs mean you can't afford to eat properly, and you can't get ahead if you're undernourished.
