Not really,this is half of the minimum wage,meaning probably not enough to survive or to live on minimum of minimums.So if minimum wage in US is 1160 USD,(based on minimum hour rate of 7.25$),it would be let say 600$ monthly for each citizen,which i believe is probably not enough to survive in US.And you can probably make more money by begging on street.
