I guess the democrats wouldn’t let him work for the CBO in 2009. But it was garbage in and garbage out for the CNO
I totally agree with the author of the article, and add one more point.
The incentive for under-the-table income is now enormous. It is much more beneficial for those under a certain line to add to their income in a way that will not affect their benefits.
Leftists operate under their publicly stated premise that people are too stupid to make good decisions for themselves; therefore, government must take care of them. Reality is that, based on all their options, government freebies and all, even people on the bottom rung make rational economic decisions based on what is available to them and what is offered to them . . .they know what the best deal is. Democrats just give them deals like Obamacare using taxpayer dollars, and the real beneficiaries return the favor by voting for Democrats. This is nothing new under the sun. It boils down to buying votes with taxpayer dollars and it is morally repugnant. They just put different wrapping paper on a type of political corruption that has been around for eons.
