This is leading to nationwide legal breaking and entering laws.
There will be a lot of winos and druggies claiming to be artists soon . . .
Honestly, I’d rather not get that money and then have it stop. It actually will turn out worse for people. You get used to the money and then it’s gone. A lot of people will be hurt when that unemployment stops and they have to go back to work with pay that’s less then the unemployment checks. Liberals hurt people.
411 million in debt. Of course the stimulus bill will write that off. Remember cities can’t print money so they can’t have debt. State will pay off whatever deficit they have. Federal government will pay off any state debt. Nobody pays the federal government debt. Vicious circle.
During the depression the government financed public art. The art had to be approved and the work done. Giving someone who claims to be an artist $1,000 is a slush fund for those running the city.
It is a way of giving walk-around-money legally.
