“probably the best thing to do is just give them cash.”
EBT is as good as cash. I’d like to see them just give these poor downtrodden people a web portal where they can monetize all of life’s problems with an infusion of deficit cash to their EBT based on checkboxes of the political issue dejure.
Then we can get rid of case workers, administrators and all the bureaucracy that comes with it (just give them EBT cards too). Just give everyone money to help with all their little hurts and inconveniences. Afterall, freedom is not having anyone tell you what you can use your EBT for, right?
If they don’t spend their full balance, sweep it to a retirement account.
yes, I’m being sarcastic.
We will have finally ended poverty.
Why don’t we ALL just stop working and have government take care of us? Food, clothing, shelter, health care are all rights. No education would be needed because government Weill,provide all we need.
Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?
