Biden's Going to 'Lift 12M Americans Out of Poverty and Cut Child Poverty in Half'

President-($)elect Joe Biden on Thursday night announced his American Rescue Plan, which he said "will tackle the pandemic and get direct financial assistance and relief to Americans who need it the most."

The plan comes with a big price tag ($1.9 trillion) and lofty promises, as Biden described:

Direct cash payments, extended unemployment insurance, rent relief, food assistance, keeping essential frontline workers on the job, aid to small businesses. These are the key elements to the American Rescue Plan that would lift 12 million Americans out of poverty and cut child poverty in half. That's 5 million children lifted out of poverty if we move.

Our plan will reduce poverty in the black community by one-third. It will reduce poverty in the Hispanic community by almost 40 percent and it includes much more, like an increase in the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. People tell me that's going to be hard to pass. Florida just passed it. As divided as that state is, they just passed it. The rest of the country is ready to move as well.

It should be a national minimum wage of $15 an hour. No one working 40 hours a week should live below the poverty line. That's what it means. If you work for less than $15 an hour and work 40 hours a week, you're living in poverty. It includes access to affordable childcare that will enable parents, particularly women, to get back to work.

He’s correct, in a way. Cancer deaths have gone down recently according to the AP. Amazingly the overall deaths remain the same. I can’t quite figure it out.

Why leave so many kids in poverty? Why not get them all out?

Don’t get excited yet. Slow Joe is simply lowering poverty level cutoff for families and mandating that children of poor families indenture their children to the slave factories of Apple, Nike, etc.

And he will do it at the same time thunder bolts are flying out of his scrawny ass.

The poor old bastard is now powned by Nancy Pelosi.

That didn’t take long.

No he won’t, even if this RAT plan had a small effect it will just draw more freeloaders to the party perfectly happy to suckle off hard working Americans. Exactly what Socialists / Marxists want, more dependency.

Was it LBJ that came up with a similar fantasy some years ago?
