“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.

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?

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

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

[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?

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