Gonna be interesting to see what happens when the majority of people refuse to work and demand their “free stuff”.

What do you mean “when,” Kemosabe?

I agree. I am around lots of teenage friends of my daughter. They all agree that guaranteed income/ housing/ school/ food security is a human right. Very few of them see the purpose of succeeding in school or employment as this would only demonstrate their white privilege. Plus they feel the government’s job is to provide for them and will provide for them.
It is amazing how the left has absolutely won the war on youth by convincing them these “values” are both virtuous and a form of reparations for Black enslavement. And that “bootstraps/ hard work” is a racist construct.
Unfortunately this only changes with some real societal suffering, if it changes at all in our life time.
I am lucky that my daughter has not drank this Koolaid.-
It changes when we all are working for the Chinese…

“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink”
People need assistance for sure, but freebies without skin in the game isn’t going to make them any more responsible with what you gave them.

Adopting a “guaranteed minimum income” accomplishes nothing apart from making the “guaranteed minimum income” the new “zero income”, which then effectively lowers the income of everyone else.

I thought localities were not allowed to use the federal helicopter dollars to cut taxes. If Alexandria’s idea passes legal muster, why can’t other localities issue “debit cards” to every household in the jurisdiction?

The ARPA language is very focused on assistance to disadvantaged households impacted by the pandemic. If a population fits into that category, or the spending does, then the locality has considerable flexibility to spend the money doing all kinds of things that look very different from infrastructure or response to the pandemic.

If money talks…Democrats will have a landslide win next election. And I would say, money does indeed buy votes.

Mayors in the coalition are part of a generation of leaders who are thinking more about how to get immediate assistance to people in need, rather than forcing them into complex government programs that ration public assistance through layers of bureaucracy, Wilson says.
Generation of leaders? Generation of morons is more like it.
These stupid ba$tards ARE the “layers of bureaucracy”. They should be thinking about finding ways to fix the “complex government programs” which THEY are responsible for instead of finding yet another way to pi$$ away the taxpayers’ money.
