>A basic income check? And in two years when inflation catches up to those worthless basic income checks and poverty is WORSE and not better - then what?<
Exactly. Does anyone think the higher costs of college, food, health insurance and nursing home prices are not influenced by entitlements to a large segment of the population? Nursing home prices, in particular, are designed to impoverish everyone of even modest means as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
Its just like the idiocy over raising the minimum wage.
You want $15.00 an hour to flip burgers and mop floors?
Great.
And when that hamburger costs $10.00 per pound and the price of that mop is at $49.00, then what?
Raise the minimum wage again?
Suuuuurrre.
