One thing I'd like to see tried is the "$10,000 per year stipend for being an adult citizen" welfare-substitute idea that Charles Murray proposed in In Our Hands. It addresses some of the thorniest motivation/gap problems that existing welfare/unemployment/food stamps/etc. have. (Biggest problem: aid cut-off caps that act to discourage receipients from seeking many kinds of work.)
