See #114.
An excerpt from the actual bill.
Apparently the FAQ section assumes that you have the brains to know that the govenment has to get the info from you in order to send you a check.
Also note the safeguards to prevent illegals and criminals from getting the money. What other government program do you know does that?
And it won't be 300 million checks. It would probably be more like 75 to 100 million. Children won't get their own checks. Couples won't get separate checks. One check per household.
Did you know that there are computers with high speed printers nowadays? Do you know how many checks the government already sends out every month?
I think that you are nitpicking and you have some other underlying and unstated opposition to the replacement of the status quo.
Do you like the status quo? Do you like ANYTHING about the FairTax? Do you have an alternate plan?
Actually, most people with a bank account will opt to have the FCA electronically deposited rather than having to deal with a paper check, mail, etc.
How much fraud is there in the disbursement of SS benefits ? Not much. The FCA will be a smaller amount, therefor logic would indicate that there will be even less fraud with it.
