    Girls that are putting themselves through college need housing too.

    He also cares about prostitution, the police and rhinos.

    2 trillion in dollar monetization so far this year!

    And food stamps are like $70 billion. Get some perspective.
    There are something like 250 million adults in the US. Assuming a "guaranteed income" of $20k/yr that's $5 trillion a year, and the govt already spends $1 trillion more per year than it takes in. You might want to get some perspective.

    And hey...we should couple the "guaranteed income" with repeat immigration amnesties and liberal immigration policy...I bet that will make things better.

    There is so much FS in this thread it is sad...

    @RaceBannon "Lazy is going to be lazy" misses the point race. It's not the 1930's anymore and the Joads don't have to pack up the Hudson truck anymore to move to Cali-fornee to pick fruit vs staying in Oklahoma and starving to death. Now they can stay in the trailer in Oklahoma and live off disability, and why get a shitty job at the local Wallmart if the net is same as the disability. But how is the current model not a disincentive for work?

    You are actually somewhat correct....there is a lot of disincentive in the current system to take advantage and not work (or work under the table). But the answer is to reduce/fix those issues, not say you ain't seen nothing yet and take it and go to 11...

    In case you haven't noticed. I don't support guaranteed income and further, we already have a method of guaranteed income and the Republicans were the last ones to expand that. It's called the earned income credit.

    Sobering. That pic is quite literally how Mom, her 5 bros and one sis, travelled from S. Dakota to Seattle in 1938 in a Model A. They would drive until running out of gas then Grandpa would take the 4 older boys to a farmhouse offering free labor in exchange for gas/food. Then repeat until they made it to North Bend. Took about a month, I'm told.
