  They’re already doing that only at extreme greater expense and far less efficiency in the form of a fractured, absurd system of benefits. Housing, WIC, SNAP, unemployment, disability. End all of it and just give people cash. Far less overhead costs, more people benefit.

    Now that I could actually support. Instead of multiple shit welfare programs, condense it into one cash payment.

      You bought into the propaganda of rugid individualism way too hard. Our society is better when it does something to help those who are in a tough spot.

        Because surely the only reason someone could possibly disagree with you is propaganda.

      I never said the government needs more money to solve these things. It already has plenty of money, it justs wastes it on stupid shit like fossil fuel subsidies, overseas bases, the military, etc.
