You are confusing the prebate with government social programs.

It's not a "prebate". The entitlement payment, set by estimates of poverty levels, is made regardless of the taxes paid by the recipient, if any.

The prebate is set only by family size, which may or may not correlate with poverty level or net worth or any other such factor, so I consider it more appropriate to consider it in the "reimbursement" rather than "entitlement" category.

Okay, if you actually believe that you can exist on spending less than the 12K/year or whatever the poverty level happens to be. Good luck...

Nope - still wrong and apparently always will be since it's described throughout the bill as a rebate of taxes.

Try reading it sometime.
