There is no doubt that she is a flaming commie.
She’s a behavioral economist interested in finding out why the poor make the wrong decisions. So should welfare be in kind or in cash? You see the poor are a class (pre-proletarian?) and since we know what’s best for them, we just have to manipulate them into making the best choices. Who’s we you ask? Why that would be the government. It’s either arrogance or flat out stupid. But just think of how it will grow the economy with all the new government jobs required to figure it all out. And besides, we have to make everyone equal and proletarian so the glorious revolution can commence and the pre-proles were an obstacle. Well something like that anyways.
