And once the money stops they will be homeless again. Or probably dead from a tax payer funded overdose
They must “poop more politely” on the sidewalks to earn it
Exactly! So eone once said that once you give out $$, it is impossible to get people off that $$, and if you try, you have a real fight on your hands
Yeah, me too!
Insanity rules the Congress!
There are plenty of various social programs-—
BUT RULES are such : NO DRUGS/NO FIGHTS/ NO ALCOHOL. ALl of those are NON- STARTERS for homeless.
I don’t think the ho makes that much money to be able to afford to do that. Anyway, you give them that much money for booze and cigarettes and you’ll never get them to go to work. Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyy will need to start Invasion Surge II to import some more cheap Hispanic labor and to reduce the size of the lines of “Americans” at the illegal alien food trucks.
Much of which will end up going to drug gangs and human traffickers to finance their criminality. Aren’t American tax payers great!!!
The democrats ARE HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
VOTE,DEMOCRATS OUT.
selected individuals = Democratic Voters
The average social security check is somewhere around $1700/month for someone who had to work almost 40 years to get it.
They want to give almost the same amount to people who have done absolutely nothing to earn it.
Somehow in the leftist mind that is justice.
Can’t see the photo- does it show up for you?
Various area drug dealers are solidly behind this proposal.
And how much of this money will find its way into the hands of HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, AL QUEDA, ISIS, TALIBAN?................
It’s also a “36-month program,” where, once started, it will likely never end.
And it’s probably $1400/person, less procurement and disbursement costs and administrative fees, etc, going to someone.
All money spent on benevolence (welfare) is unconstitutional.
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” — James Madison
"Tlaib unveils proposal to give homeless people [??? emphasis added] $1,400 a month for 36 months"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's General Welfare Clause (1.8.1) aside, welfare is a state power issue, evidenced from the writings of Justice Joseph Story and Rep. John Bingham, a respected constitutional lawmaker.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
When lawmakers like Tlaib blatantly ignore the federal government's constitutionally limited powers by stealing state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, to effectively buy votes from poor people in the name of improving their situation, such lawmakers make it more difficult for the states to find the revenues to do their 10th Amendment duties to care for the people.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
That being said, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 by immediately primarying ALL incumbent state and federal lawmakers and executives up for reelection, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company (and others?), replacing them with a new patriot lawmakers that will do the work mentioned further down.
Majority in new poll say Biden, most members of Congress don’t deserve new term: Gallup (2.2.24)
70% of New York voters say Biden not fit to serve another term: poll (2.20.24)
New lawmakers need to support Trump to not only finish draining the swamp, but to also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so, unconstitutional federal taxes stopped by repealing the 16th (16A; direct taxes) and 17th (17A, popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
In fact, consider that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo).
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In other words, the worst problem that the peacetime country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is this imo. Citizens would probably get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find legislative remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
