That's nice, but 5,880,000 / 400 = 14,700. Wouldn't it be easier just to give them checks?

Yes it would but like handing out money to panhandlers, giving checks directly to the homeless would likely result in little money being spent on actual accomodations and lots of money being spent on alcohol and drugs.

Gilmore is taking the "compassionate conservative" approach.

I agree. At least he's giving away his own money (some of which I gave him)....
