Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

MMT proponents generally support the idea of ensuring that welfare benefits go to those who need it most, as they believe that government spending on social programs can help stimulate the economy and reduce inequality. However, they may not specifically focus on reducing restrictions to achieve this goal, as they also support policies like a federal jobs guarantee.

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

While MMT proponents support the idea of providing more welfare benefits, they may not necessarily agree with the specific proposal of reforming the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income. However, they do support policies like a federal jobs guarantee, which would provide employment and income to those who need it.

More, and deny benefits to immigrants
