“The best way to break the cycles of poverty is to give people money,” said Mayor Bill Peduto (D-Pittsburgh).

Sounds like the Babylon Bee - but I guess not.

This country is brain-dead and needs to be taken off of life support with this mentality.

> 100 low-income African American women, who are working and have families, will receive $500 every month for two years. <

Here we go with the Democrat racism again. Poor white folks need not apply. Poor Asian folks need not apply.

And then there’s the mayor’s idiotic statement: “The best way to break the cycles of poverty is to give people money.” Is that supposed to be a joke? You break the cycle of poverty by providing opportunity!

Peduto says he needs to raise about 3 million dollars for the program, which will be launched as soon as he gets the commitments.

too funny....on a series note, why does he need 3 million to pay out 1.2 million ?

Cause poverty is just a lack of money and has nothing to do with the bad decisions and choices a person makes and continues to make.

[RoosterRedux]

Of course, the objective is not curing poverty but controlling people. Quite similar to the way a drug dealer moves into a new territory or introduces a new drug.

Free samples for everyone!

I’ve never lived in Pittsburgh, but if I self-identify as a Pittsburgh resident will I be able to receive the money?

[Leep]

Bring it all down.

“Free money”.

Unbelievable. But, I guess...it IS believable.

“Pilot program.”

It’s a government program, which means the chances of it ending are slim. How long was the telephone tax to fund the Spanish American war in effect? 100 years?

The 4 people running the program will get 75,000 a year.

[eyedigress]

Oops thats only half.

Pay them 150,000 and call it a day.

[setter]

100 families x $500 month x 2 years = $1.2 million.

Why is the mayor asking for $3 million to get the program going?

[TimSkalaBim]

Great question, buy you already know. Because 1.8 mil is for “The Program.” The ladies with families getting the stipends are merely objects of “the program”. “The Program” is what it’s all about, that’s the fiefdom, the conduit, the leaky part of the helping bucket. What a racket.

[I want the USA back]

Conditioning us to accept reparations. Handouts don’t help. Getting people to work does.

[gunnut]

I know it is a rhetorical question but why 100 black women? Why not 100 of various races and genders and compare the results?

[gunnut]

I’ve never lived in Pittsburgh, but if I self-identify as a Pittsburgh resident will I be able to receive the money?

You also have to identify as a black woman.

If you want it, here it is, come and get it.
