Gen Z, Millennials to Get $1,400 Direct Payments Under New Bill
Newsweek ^ | February 26, 2024 | Omar Mohammed

Posted on 02/28/2024 3:16:08 AM PST by fwdude

Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib has launched a proposal aimed at emancipated minors and those under age 30 that will offer them cash assistance for three years to help overcome homelessness and study housing with a particular focus on youth.

The bill is co-sponsored by Democratic Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia, Barbara Lee of California and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.

The proposal aims to give $1,400, or rent as determined by market value, to serve the immediate goal of trying to help emancipated minors and adults under 30—also described as Gen Z and millennials—but also use the assistance as a way to study how such help can impact efforts to eradicate homelessness.

Why are Muzzie bass turds deciding to give free money to the millie and zero deadbeats? They aren’t even Americans if you have to pay their goat smellin’ asses to get them to vote. And what the hell is up with that California negro, Babs Lee. Why hasn’t she gotten rid of that Confederate name that trigger my offended butt and why does her retarded ass think the minimum wage should be 50 bucks and hour? She alone has lowered the average I.Q. in America down to single digits.

It sounds like Rashida, the Queen of the Desert Caravans, is trying to give the recreational drug business a big kick in the ass to get it going into overtime. Why does the ho think only the Millies and Zeros should get free money? Time to deport her Muzzie ass.

I think this bill’s sub-title is “The support your local Tattoo parlor bill”.

There may be homeless people in Michigan but it isn’t like many other places in the country...and I certainly don’t see young people homeless on the streets.

Yes, housing is a problem, income to rent ratios are worse than in a long time...but this is, of course, nothing but trying to buy votes.

She needs to answer, where is the money coming from?

A friggin’ Muzzie trying to buy the kiddies’ votes. Is that crap legal in America? Or is it just some new crap the muzzies came up with. 9/11 paid of better for the Muzzie than they thought it did. It brought the ignorant morons living in this country right into the muzzies’ tents.

They’re trying to buy votes. Change my mind.

They're not just TRYING.

Republicans "try". Democrats "do". Change my mind.

The Squawd is on a money spending binge. It’s pretty bad when they need to pay the kiddies to vote for them. Handing out taxpayer dollars to maggots who aren’t really interested in voting unless they are paid to do it is a dagger right into the throat of the Dung Beetle Partys’ Marxist “democrazy”.

Because we see how effective giving Free S#!t to people is.

It’s worked so well, over the past numerous decades.

Are you sure this is enough Free Money, Tlaib?

It’s never enough free money, for libs.

Vote buying but you can’t rent what doesn’t exist.

Deport all the illegals, ALL OF THEM, and stop the purchase of American property but foreign interests and there will be plenty of housing available.

"Tlaib said in a statement.... "By providing direct cash assistance, we can address our housing crisis while respecting the autonomy and dignity of the folks receiving assistance.'"

Dignity? What ever happened to the attitude of nearly ALL Americans that it was shameful, not "dignified," to be on the public dole? Depression-era Americans HATED resorting to that remedy, and would much rather be working for their wages than the INdignity of begging.

Then there is always the shrieking when the free money program ends or gives out. It suddenly becomes a "civil right" for them to get money.

From the article:

“The proposal aims to give $1,400, or rent as determined by market value”

So rent will soon go up to $2800 a month. These people’s ignorance of economics is amazing.
