One of the craziest things I find about Welfare (and yes, I'm including things like Social Security in this category) is that so many of the recipients live in expensive areas. For example, why are there government housing projects in places like San Francisco? That's valuable real estate, where a studio apartment costs $3,000+/month. The same living situation would cost $100/month in the middle of Oklahoma.
I don't think so. In my town close to the middle of Oklahoma, it would be kinda hard to find a one bedroom apartment for $300 a month. As for Oklahoma City, this page suggests $320 for the cheapest studio apartment. https://www.apartmenthomeliving.com/...for-rent/cheap
Considering how much Oklahomans, especially Republicans, look down upon the poor, I don't think most Oklahomans would go along with such a proposal to move the poor there just because the COL is low.

It should have eligibility like unemployment insurance, substituting recipients of any sw should have to have worked and paid, at minimum, a net federal income tax equal to, at minimum, ten years worth of sw they can receive.

illustrating perfectly how GOP'ers know just the right amounts of welfare and socialism
Here is my litmus test for the legitimacy of such schemes- I ask myself; can I as a person do it? If the answer is no, than neither can the state.
For example: can I rob my neighbors and donate some of the proceeds to someone in need so long as they meet some made up criteria for worthiness? No, it would still be robbery.
Tell us how a govt ID badge changes changes it from robbery to "welfare"
