The first part is the standard conservative/Libertarian play: set up an ambitious programme, make sure it’s underfunded and staffed by incompetents in order to ensure failure and has elements that go against the stated intent, and then say “see, we gave government a chance to do the job, but it can’t do anything right. Time for the private sector to take over.” I’m sure the nation-wide rollout will involve a lot more crony companies taking over the administration of the programme, with no relief from the punishment for poor people.
